Imprint method and imprint system

An imprint method comprising:

• coating a first photo-curable organic material on a first film;
• bringing a concave-convex pattern of a template into contact with the first photo-curable organic material having a first residual film thickness corresponding to a distance between a surface of the first film and a surface of a concave portion of the first photo-curable organic material;
• applying a first force to side surfaces of the template;
• creating a relation between the first force and the first residual film thickness;
• coating a second photo-curable organic material on a second film to be processed;
• bringing the concave-convex pattern of the template into contact with the second photo-curable organic material;
• applying a second force to side surfaces of the template, based on the relation between the first force and the first residual film thickness, in such a state that the template is brought into contact with the second photo-curable organic material;
• curing the second photo-curable organic material by irradiating light onto the second photo-curable organic material, in such a state that the template is brought into contact with the second photo-curable organic material;
• and
• releasing the template from the second photo-curable organic material after the light irradiation;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• before coating the second photo-curable organic material, coating a third photo-curable organic material on the first film;
• bringing the concave-convex pattern of the template into contact with the third photo-curable organic material, the third photo-curable organic material having a second residual film thickness corresponding to a distance between the surface of the first film and a surface of a concave portion of the third photo-curable organic material;
• applying a third force to the side surfaces of the template;
• and
• creating a relation between the third force and the third residual film thickness,
• wherein the second force is applied to the side surfaces of the template, based on the relation between the first force and the first residual film thickness and on the relation between the third force and the third residual film thickness.
