Patent ID: 8419995

Claim:
An imprint method comprising: applying first and second light curable resins on first and second regions, respectively, of a substrate to be processed, the first region being selected to be with a predetermined pattern after the substrate is processed, and the second region being selected to be without the predetermined pattern after the substrate is processed, the first light curable resin being a material that generates gas when irradiated with light, the second light curable resin being a material that does not generate gas when irradiated with light; contacting an imprint mold with the first and second light curable resins; curing the first and second light curable resin resins by irradiating the first and second light curable resins with light passing through the imprint mold; generating gas from the first light curable resin applied on the first region of the substrate due to the irradiating with light, and forming the predetermined pattern in the first region by separating the imprint mold from the first and second light curable resins after the gas is generated.
