EXPOSURE METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

An exposure method enabling deformation occurring in a unit exposure field to be measured rapidly and accurately and enabling a plurality of patterns to be superimposed on a substrate with high accuracy. The exposure method of the present embodiment for exposing a bright-dark pattern on the substrate using a projection optical system includes a position detection process for detecting the positions of a plurality of position detection marks, relative to a substrate-in-plane-direction of the substrate, arranged in at least one functional element in a unit exposure field of the substrate, a deformation calculation process for calculating the state of deformation occurring in the unit exposure field based on information related to the positions of the position detection marks obtained in the position detection process, and a shape modification process for modifying the shape of the bright-dark pattern to be exposed on the substrate based on the deformation state obtained in the deformation calculation process.
