PATTERN FORMATION METHOD AND PATTERN FORMATION APPARATUS

摘要

According one embodiment, a pattern formation method forming a resist layer on a pattern formation surface by pressing a template provided with a concave-convex from above the resist layer to form a resist pattern on the pattern formation surface, includes: forming a resist layer in a first region having an area smaller than an area of the pattern formation surface and in a second region other than the first region of the pattern formation surface; pressing a template against the resist layer; irradiating the resist layer with light via the template to form a first resist layer in the first region, curing of the first resist layer being suppressed, and form the resist pattern including a second resist layer, curing of the second resist layer proceeds in the second region; and removing the first resist layer from the first region, the curing of the first resist layer being suppressed.

1. A pattern formation method forming a resist layer on a pattern formation surface by pressing a template provided with a concave-convex from above the resist layer to form a resist pattern on the pattern formation surface, the method comprising:
forming a resist layer in a first region having an area smaller than an area of the pattern formation surface and in a second region other than the first region of the pattern formation surface; pressing a template against the resist layer; irradiating the resist layer with light via the template to form a first resist layer in the first region, curing of the first resist layer being suppressed, and form the resist pattern including a second resist layer, curing of the second resist layer proceeds in the second region; and removing the first resist layer from the first region.
