Exposure method and device for forming patterns on printed wiring board

摘要

An optical exposure method and a device are used for forming patterns on a printed board wiring or semiconductor board. A single exposing region of a surface to be exposed is irradiated with a plurality of optical beams having different irradiating areas and different scanning pitches, such as, a peripheral area is irradiated with an optical beam having a smaller irradiating area and an inner area is irradiated with an optical beam having a larger irradiating area.
