Patent ID: 7862761

Claim:
A method for forming a pattern on a substrate by using a mold having an imprint pattern, the method comprising: dispensing in equal amounts an uncured pattern forming material onto the substrate in a dispersion state; deforming the uncured pattern forming material into a shape corresponding to the imprint pattern; and curing the deformed uncured pattern forming material, wherein the uncured pattern forming material is dispensed in a plurality of straight lines, which are spaced apart from and are parallel to each other, wherein a first droplet, a second droplet, and a third droplet of the uncured pattern forming material are successively dispensed at different spacial intervals in each of the straight lines without an intervening droplet being dispensed in another line, and wherein the spacial intervals are adjusted depending on an evaporation amount of the uncured pattern forming material so that a second spacial interval between the second droplet and the third droplet is longer than a first spacial interval between the first droplet and the second droplet in each of the straight lines.
