Abstract

In forming a pattern on a substrate with reduced pattern error using a mold having an area smaller than an area of the substrate, a first resin pattern is formed on at least a first of a plurality of regions of an etching object layer by imprinting resin applied to the etching object layer using a first mold The etching object layer is then etched using the first resin pattern as an etching mask. A second resin pattern is formed on at least a second of the plurality of regions by imprinting resin applied to the etching object layer using a second mold. The etching object layer is again etched using the second resin pattern as an etching mask.
