Abstract

The present invention provides an imprint apparatus including an amplifier configured to amplify a signal of displacement between a mold and a substrate, and a control unit configured to perform alignment between the mold and the substrate based on the amplified signal, wherein the control unit performs the alignment through a first operation of moving the substrate with respect to the mold in a first direction and a second operation of moving the substrate with respect to the mold in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and in the first operation, the control unit sets the gain of the amplifier to a first gain and changes the gain of the amplifier from the first gain to a second gain.
