Patent ID: 8496462

Claim:
An imprint apparatus that forms a pattern of a mold onto a resin applied on a substrate, the imprint apparatus comprising: a mold holder that holds the mold; a substrate holder that holds the substrate; a first measurement unit configured to measure a position of the mold holder; a second measurement unit, including a detecting head, which is provided on the mold holder, that reads a scale provided on the mold, configured to measure a position of the mold with respect to the mold holder based on the scale reading result obtained by the detecting head; a third measurement unit configured to measure a position of the substrate holder; and a controller configured to: calculate the position of the mold based on the measured position of the mold holder obtained by the first measurement unit and the measured position of the mold obtained by the second measurement unit; calculate the position of the substrate based on the measured position obtained by the third measurement unit; and control a relative position between the mold and the substrate based on the calculated position of the mold and the calculated position of the substrate.
