Method of forming pattern of cured product as well as production methods for processed substrate, optical component, circuit board, electronic component, imprint mold and imprint pretreatment coating material

A method of producing a cured product pattern, comprising:

• arranging a layer of a liquid film on a substrate using a curable composition (α1) such that the liquid film is of a curable composition (α1′), which is components of the curable composition (α1) except a component serving as a solvent;
• applying droplets of a curable composition (α2) discretely to the layer such that the curable composition (α2) in the droplets spreads on the liquid film in a substrate surface direction;
• bringing a mixture layer obtained by partially mixing the curable composition (α1′) and the curable composition (α2) into contact with a mold having a pattern;
• irradiating the mixture layer with light from outside of the mold to cure the mixture layer;
• and
• releasing the mold from the mixture layer after the curing,
• wherein the curable composition (α1) has a number concentration of particles each having a particle diameter of 0.07 μm or more of 21.5 particles/mL to less than 2,021 particles/mL, and
• wherein the curable composition (α1′) has a surface tension larger than that of the curable composition (α2).
