Abstract

A method of performing pattern transfer includes the steps of: applying liquid to a substrate, while performing relative movement of the substrate and a liquid ejection head having a plurality of nozzles, by performing ejection and deposition of a plurality of droplets of the liquid from the nozzles onto the substrate in a state where a shape of each of the droplets upon the deposition is not a single circular shape and each of the droplets does not combine with adjacent another of the droplets on the substrate; and curing the liquid that has been applied to the substrate in the applying step while pressing a pattern forming surface of a stamper having a prescribed projection-recess pattern against the liquid.
