Abstract

An imprinting method for forming a pattern of a cured product by irradiating a curable composition for imprinting disposed on a substrate with light while the curable composition is in contact with a mold having surface asperities and removing the mold from a cured product of the curable composition. The method includes bringing the mold into contact with the curable composition in a condensable gas atmosphere, wherein the curable composition for imprinting has a viscosity in the range of 1 cP to 40 cP in air at 23° C., and the condensable gas is introduced between the mold and the curable composition such that the curable composition for imprinting has a condensable gas solubility (gas/(curable composition+gas)) (g/g) in the range of 0.1 to 0.4.
