A new confocal microscope and a new device fabrication method in which linewidth control is achieved using the new confocal microscope are disclosed. This new confocal microscope has a configuration which achieves multiple passes, e.g., three, four, five, six, seven or more passes, of the incident light through the objective lens of the microscope. As a consequence, the new confocal microscope exhibits a smaller effective depth of focus and a smaller effective resolution than a conventional confocal microscope.
