PURPOSE:To preferably transfer a pattern without displacement of a focal point by controlling the distance of a projection optical system and a substrate in response to a thin film forming state on the substrate to regulate the focal point position to always hold the system and the substrate to be transferred at optimum positions. CONSTITUTION:In a 1/5 contraction projection exposure device in which a light source is the g-beam of a mercury lamp, the elevational optimum moving distance of a state is set in response to the thickness of a resist. Here, the stage means a surface plate for installing a substrate for transferring a desired pattern, and the place where the position becomes '0' is at the position where it is normally installed. The silicon substrate formed with a resist thin film is set on a projection exposure apparatus, exposed, and set at the thickness of the film to move the stage from a reference position.
