Described is a resinous structure derived from fluorine-containing polymers useful as a mold having excellent dimensional stability.

The present invention provides a forming apparatus that forms a composition on a substrate using a mold including a contact region to be brought into contact with the composition, comprising: a deformation unit configured to deform the contact region; and a controller configured to perform, for each of a first shot region and a second shot region on the substrate, a process of bringing the contact region and the composition on the substrate into contact with each other while controlling the deformation of the contact region, wherein an area where the mold faces the substrate during the process is different between the first and second shot regions, and wherein the controller is configured to change, between the first and second shot regions, a process condition for bringing the contact region and the composition into contact with each other.

An imprint apparatus that forms a pattern made of an imprint material on each of a plurality of shot regions of a substrate, includes a user interface configured to allow a user to perform editing for assigning each of the plurality of shot regions to any one of a plurality of groups such that each of the plurality of groups is formed by at least one shot region onto which the imprint material is continuously supplied from a dispenser.

Imprint apparatus brings pattern region of mold into contact with imprint material on shot region of substrate, aligns the shot region and the pattern region with each other, and cures the imprint material. The apparatus includes light irradiator which irradiates the imprint material with light. In state that the imprint material on the shot region and the pattern region are in contact and the pattern region is flat, the light irradiator performs preliminary exposure of irradiating the imprint material with the light to increase viscosity of the imprint material. In the preliminary exposure, the light irradiator irradiates the imprint material with the light under illuminance distribution determined such that illuminance in contact beginning region where the imprint material and the pattern region begin to contact is lower than illuminance in certain region different from the contact beginning region.

A frame curing template for imprinting formable material on a substrate and a system and a method of using the frame curing template. The template may comprise: a patterning surface on a mesa on a front side of the template; a recessed surface surrounding the mesa on the front side of the template; a recessed surface coating on the recessed surface. A first transmittance from a back side of the template through the recessed surface coating to actinic radiation may be below a first threshold transmittance. A first frame window may be inset within the recessed surface coating and surrounds the mesa. A second transmittance of the template from the back side of the template through the first frame window to the actinic radiation may be above the first threshold transmittance.

Provided is a complex patterning device. The complex patterning device includes a patterning module, on which a master substrate including a master pattern that contacts and is separated from a target substrate and which forms a plurality of target patterns having a reverse image of the master pattern on the target substrate by applying a pressure onto the target substrate, and a punching module including a punching mold that contacts and is separated from the target substrate, in which the plurality of target patterns are formed, and which divides at least any one of the plurality of target patterns by applying a pressure onto the target substrate.
