Upon formation of semiconductor micro patterns, an interlayer alignment error occurs due to asymmetry of each alignment mark. Prior to alignment of a mask with a wafer, the asymmetry of each alignment mark is measured according to the principle of a scatterometry, and the alignment is performed in consideration of the result of measurement to execute exposure. Thus, high-accuracy alignment can be carried out without sacrificing throughput, and the performance of a semiconductor device is improved. Further, manufacturing yields can be enhanced and a reduction in cost can be realized.
