Imprinting apparatus and method of manufacturing product

An imprinting apparatus that forms a pattern of an imprint material in regions of a substrate by using a mold, the imprinting apparatus comprising:

• a discharging unit that has a discharge port and that discharges the imprint material from the discharge port;
• a movement unit that moves the discharging unit;
• a stage that holds the substrate and that moves;
• and
• a control unit that controls movement of the stage,
• wherein, after the discharging unit is evacuated by the movement unit from a first position at which the imprint material is applied to the substrate to a second position away therefrom in a direction in which the mold and the imprint material are separated from each other when the pattern is formed, the control unit controls movement of the stage such that the regions in which the pattern is formed are allowed to pass through a facing portion that faces the discharge port.

An imprinting apparatus that forms a pattern of an imprint material in regions of a substrate by using a mold, the imprinting apparatus comprising:

• a discharging unit that has a discharge port and that discharges the imprint material from the discharge port;
• a stage that holds the substrate and that moves;
• a control unit that controls movement of the stage;
• and
• an unloading unit that is disposed nearer than a holder that holds the mold to the discharging unit and that unloads the substrate to an outside of the apparatus,
• wherein, during a period after the pattern is formed in a first region of the regions until the pattern is formed in a second region that differs from the first region of the regions, the control unit does not allow the first region to pass through a facing portion that faces the discharge port, and
• wherein, while the stage is moved to the unloading unit after the pattern is finally formed on the substrate, the control unit controls movement of the stage such that the stage is moved along a path along which the regions do not pass through the facing portion.

An imprinting apparatus that forms a pattern of an imprint material in regions of a substrate by using a mold, the imprinting apparatus comprising:

• a discharging unit that has a discharge port and that discharges the imprint material from the discharge port;
• a control unit that sets an order of formation of the pattern in the regions;
• and
• a stage that holds the substrate and that moves in accordance with the order that is set by the control unit,
• wherein the control unit determines whether the order of formation of the pattern in the regions enables the first region to pass through a facing portion that faces the discharge port during a period after the pattern is formed in a first region of the regions until the pattern is formed in a second region that differs from the first region of the regions, and sets the order on the basis of a determination result such that the first region does not pass through the facing portion during the period.
