Patent ID: 7857611

Claim:
An imprint apparatus that forms a replica which has a convex part pattern corresponding to a concave part pattern, comprising: a substrate on which a transfer material is put; an imprint mold which has said concave part pattern; a forcing unit which generates forcing power to force said imprint mold against said transfer material on said substrate at a minimum forcing pressure Mmin [Pa] at a contact area between said imprint mold and said transfer material; a pressure adjusting unit which adjusts a pressure of an atmosphere so that a pressure of a space surrounding said imprint mold and said substrate becomes a pressure P [Pa]; and a control unit, wherein said control unit controls said forcing unit and said pressure adjusting unit based on depth K [nm] of said concave part pattern of said imprint mold and height k [nm] of said convex part pattern of said replica, and wherein said control unit controls said forcing unit and said pressure adjusting unit with satisfying: M min/ P≧k /( K−k ).
