Subsequently, remaining resist pattern  74  is removed and the pattern  76  (for example, a magnetic domain pattern of HDD, a semiconductor circuit of memory, or the like) including the film to be processed  70  is formed. 
     Next, the inspection part  415  inspects the pattern  76  and transmits the inspection result to the control part  46 . The control part  46  stores the obtained inspection result in the processed wafer  421   c  of the imprint information  421  via the memory part  42 , and renews the imprint information  421 . 
     In addition, the control part  46  transmits the managing information  880 A and the imprint information  421  to the managing device  6  via the network  5  and the communication part  66 , for example, after the processing of the predetermined number (for example, one lot) of the wafer is completed. 
     The control part  68  of the managing device  6  renews the system managing information  640  based on the managing information  880 A and the imprint information  421  obtained via the communication part  66 . 
     Subsequently, well-known steps are carried out to the wafers  7  that are recognized as good products due to the result of inspection, so as to obtain a desired semiconductor device. 
     Hereinafter, a method of forming and managing a template based on the template forming and managing system  1  according to the embodiment will be explained. 
     Action of Template Forming and Managing System 
       FIG. 11  is an explanatory view schematically showing a relationship between the parent template and the child template according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, a case that the child template  8 Aa manufactured from the parent template  8 A is set to the first imprint device  4 A, a case that the child template  8 Ab manufactured from the parent template  8 A is set to the first imprint device  4 B, and a case that the child template  8 Ac manufactured from the parent template  8 A is set to the first imprint device  4 C will be explained according to the flowchart of  FIG. 12 . Further, “NG” in  FIG. 11  shows that the wafer  7  processed is a defective product. 
     First, each control part of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C obtains each mark  880  of the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac set via each reading part, so as to obtain each managing information  880 A. Subsequently, as shown in  FIG. 11 , each of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C processes the wafer  7  according to the above-mentioned manufacturing method of the semiconductor device. 
     Next, each inspection part of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C inspects the wafer  7  processed. Each inspection part renews the imprint information  421  based on the inspection result. 
     Next, each control part of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C outputs each managing information  880 A and each imprint information  421  via the communication part. 
     The control part  68  of the managing device  6  obtains the managing information  880 A and the imprint information  421  via the communication parts of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C, the network  5  and the communication part  66  (S 1 ). Subsequently, the system managing information  640  is renewed based on the managing information  880 A and the imprint information  421  (S 2 ). 
     Since defective products are sequentially generated in the wafers  7  processed by the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C based on the imprint information  421  obtained, the control part  68  of the managing device  6  determines the cause of generation of defective products (S 3 ). 
     First, the control part  68  of the managing device  6  determines that there are troubles in the child templates  8 Aa to  8 Ac of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C, since defective products are sequentially generated in the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C (S 4 ). 
     Next, the control part  68  refers to the parent template name  640   f  associated with the child templates  8 Aa to  8 Ac determined that there are troubles. As a result of the reference, the control part  68  determines that there is trouble in the parent template  8 A, since the child templates  8 Aa to  8 Ac having troubles are manufactured from the parent template  8 A shared in common (S 5 ). 
     Next, the control part  68 , for example, outputs the determination result to the outputting part  62  (S 6 ), and completes the determination. 
     Second Embodiment 
       FIG. 13  is an explanatory view schematically showing a relationship between the parent template and the child template according to a second embodiment. Further, in the embodiment, the first child template  8 Aa manufactured from the parent template  8 A is described as the first generation, the second child template  8 Ab is described as the second generation and the third child template  8 Ac is described as the third generation, but not limited to this, the Nth child template  8 An is described as the first generation. 
     The template forming and managing system  1  in each embodiment described below is configured to have the same composition. Consequently, in each embodiment described below, the same references will be used to elements that have the same compositions and functions as elements in the first embodiment have, and detail explanation will be omitted. 
     Hereinafter, a method of forming and managing a template based on the template forming and managing system  1  according to the embodiment will be explained in accordance with the flowchart of  FIG. 14 .

The second generation child template  8 Ab manufactured from the parent template  8 A is set to the second imprint device  4 B. The third generation child template  8 Ac manufactured from the parent template  8 A is set to the third imprint device  4 C. 
     First, each control part of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C obtains each mark  880  of the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac set via each reading part, so as to obtain each managing information  880 A. Subsequently, as shown in  FIG. 13 , each of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C processes the wafer  7  according to the above-mentioned manufacturing method of the semiconductor device. 
     Next, each inspection part of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C inspects the wafer  7  processed. Each inspection part renews the imprint information  421  based on the inspection result. 
     Next, each control part of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C outputs each managing information  880 A and each imprint information  421  via the communication part. 
     The control part  68  of the managing device  6  obtains the managing information  880 A and the imprint information  421  via the communication parts of the first to the third imprint devices  4 A to  4 C, the network  5  and the communication part  66  (S 11 ). Subsequently, the system managing information  640  is renewed based on the managing information  880 A and the imprint information  421  (S 12 ). 
     Since defective products are sequentially generated in the wafers  7  processed by the second and the third imprint devices  4 B,  4 C based on the imprint information  421  obtained, the control part  68  of the managing device  6  determines the cause of generation of defective products based on the system managing information  640  (S 13 ). 
     First, the control part  68  of the managing device  6  determines that there are troubles in the child templates  8 Ab,  8 Ac of the second and the third imprint devices  4 B,  4 C, since defective products are sequentially generated in the second and the third imprint devices  4 B,  4 C (S 14 ). 
     Next, the control part  68  refers to the parent template name  640   f  associated with the child templates  8 Ab,  8 Ac determined that there are troubles. As a result of the reference, the control part  68  determines that there is trouble in the parent template  8 A, since the child templates  8 Ab,  8 Ac are the first generation and the second generation child templates manufactured from the parent template  8 A shared in common (S 15 ). 
     Next, the control part  68 , for example, outputs the determination result to the outputting part  62  (S 16 ), and completes the determination. 
     Third Embodiment 
       FIG. 15  is an explanatory view schematically showing a relationship between the parent template and the child template according to a third embodiment. As shown in  FIG. 15 , each of the parent templates  8 A,  8 B,  8 C is manufactured by the different processing treatment from each other. 
     “OK” in  FIG. 15  shows that the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac are good products and “NG” shows that the child templates  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc are defective products. The determination of good products and defective products is carried out based on the inspection after being manufactured from the parent template. 
     The parent template  8 A is manufactured from the substrate  80   a  by the processing treatment A. The parent template  8 B is manufactured from the substrate  80   b  by the processing treatment B. The parent template  8 C is manufactured from the substrate  80   c  by the processing treatment C. 
     Here, the processing treatment A, the processing treatment B and the processing treatment C are different from each other. 
     Hereinafter, a method of forming and managing a template based on the template forming and managing system  1  according to the embodiment will be explained in accordance with the flowchart of  FIG. 16 . 
     First, the inspection part  24  sequentially inspects the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc manufactured from the parent templates  8 A,  8 B,  8 C. 
     Next, the inspection part  24  reads out each mark  880  of the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc, so as to obtain each managing information  880 A. 
     Next, the inspection part  24  outputs the inspection result of the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc and the managing information  880 A via communication part  26 . 
     The control part  68  of the managing device  6  obtains the inspection result and the managing information  880 A via the network  5  and the communication part  66  (S 21 ). Since defective products are sequentially generated in the child templates  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc, the control part  68  of the managing device  6  determines the cause of generation of defective products based on the inspection result and the managing information  880 A obtained (S 22 ). 
     First, the control part  68  refers to each parent template name  880   c  associated with the child templates  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc determined that there are troubles.

     Subsequently, the control part  68  determines that there are problems in the processing treatments carried out after 4/23, since the processing treatments are different from each other from the parent template processing treatment  880   e  (S 24 ). 
     Next, the control part  68 , for example, outputs the determination result to the outputting part  62  (S 25 ), and completes the determination. 
     Fourth Embodiment 
       FIG. 17  is an explanatory view schematically showing a relationship between the parent template and the child template according to a fourth embodiment. In the embodiment, the parent templates  8 A,  8 B,  8 C are manufactured by the same processing treatment, but number of cleaning when the child template is manufactured is different from each other. 
     By the same processing treatment, the parent template  8 A is manufactured from the substrate  80   a , the parent template  8 B is manufactured from the substrate  80   b , and the parent template  8 C is manufactured from the substrate  80   c.    
     Hereinafter, a method of forming and managing a template based on the template forming and managing system  1  according to the embodiment will be explained in accordance with the flowchart of  FIG. 18 . 
     First, the inspection part  24  sequentially inspects the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc manufactured from the parent templates  8 A,  8 B,  8 C. 
     Next, the inspection part  24  reads out each mark  880  of the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc, so as to obtain each managing information  880 A. 
     Next, the inspection part  24  outputs the inspection result of the child templates  8 Aa,  8 Ab,  8 Ac  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc and the managing information  880 A via communication part  26 . 
     The control part  68  of the managing device  6  obtains the inspection result and the managing information  880 A via the network  5  and the communication part  66  (S 31 ). Since defective products are sequentially generated in the child templates  8 Ba,  8 Bb,  8 Bc  8 Ca,  8 Cb,  8 Cc, the control part  68  of the managing device  6  determines the cause of generation of defective products based on the inspection result and the managing information  880 A obtained (S 32 ). 
     First, the control part  68  compares a plurality of the managing information  880 A obtained, and determines that there are troubles in the child templates manufactured from the parent template of which the cleaning number of parent template  880   f  is high (S 33 ). 
     Next, the control part  68 , for example, outputs the determination result to the outputting part  62  (S 34 ), and completes the determination. 
     According to the above-explained embodiments, the mark including the managing information is formed in the child template, so that the managing information about the parent template included in the mark formed in the child template can be read out, and the parent template and the child template can be managed in comparison with a case that the mark including the managing information is not formed in the child template. 
     While certain embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example only, and not intended to limit the scope of inventions. Indeed, the novel embodiments described herein may be embodied in a variety of other forms; furthermore, various omissions, substitutions and changes in the form of the embodiments described herein may be made without departing from the spirit of the inventions. The accompanying claims and their equivalents are intended to cover such forms or modifications as would fall within the scope and spirit of the inventions. 
     For example, the template forming and managing system  1  can be configured to be one device. 
     For example, in the above-mentioned embodiments, a case that a plurality of the imprint devices as the template forming and managing system  1  are connected has been explained. However, the method of forming and managing a template can be configured to have a composition that there are a plurality of the imprint processing parts in one imprint device, the marks  880  of the child templates set to the plural imprint processing parts are read out, and each processing is carried out based on the managing information  880 A read out. 
     In addition, a composition can be also adopted, that the above-mentioned method of forming and managing a template is used in one imprint device having one imprint processing part. This case is used for, for example, a case that the child templates are replaced due to the fact that defective products are generated in the wafers  7  processed, but the state is not improved by the replacement of the child templates. Since the marks  880  including the managing information  880 A are formed in the child templates, the cause can be determined more accurately in comparison with a case that the marks are not formed. 
     The items of the managing information  880 A are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, for example, kind of processing treatment of the child template, kind and number of cleaning treatment of the child template, kind of cleaning treatment of the parent template, and cleaning date of the parent template and child template can be added thereto. The same is true of the imprint information  421  and the system managing information  640 .
