Abstract

The present invention provides an imprint apparatus which forms an imprint material on a substrate using a mold, comprising a driving unit driving at least one of the mold and the substrate, a measurement unit measuring a position deviation amount between the mold and the substrate, and a control unit controlling alignment between the mold and the substrate based on the position deviation amount, wherein in a first period from a start of contact between the mold and the imprint material until a distance between the mold and the substrate falls within a target range, and a second period in which the distance is maintained, the control unit obtains a command value for controlling the driving unit and controls the driving unit such that a amplification factor of the command value in the second period is larger than that in the first period.
