Title:
EXPOSURE METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND DEVICE PRODUCING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/067012
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An exposure method for transferring a pattern on a mask onto a substrate by using a reflecting-refracting projection system having partial barrels for holding optical systems with optical axes extending in different directions. The amount of rotation of the reflecting-refracting projection system about the optical axis intersecting at least either the mask or the substrate is measured, and based on the measurement result, either the attitude of or a scan direction of either the mask or the substrate is adjusted. Since the substrate is exposed by adjusting either the attitude of or a scan direction of either the mask or the substrate so as to cancel rotation of a projected image on the substrate caused by the rotation of the projection optical system, excellent exposure accuracy can be obtained.
