In a step & scan projection exposure apparatus having a controller for setting for each step driving a step driving profile on the basis of a scan synchronization error, the step driving profile can be set by the exposure region layout, step direction, scan driving profile, and the like. Also, the step driving profile is determined by parameters such as the accelerations and speeds of reticle and wafer stages, the time taken until synchronous scan driving starts after step driving, and the time taken until exposure starts after the start of synchronous scan driving. A method of maintaining the apparatus by using a network, a semiconductor device manufacturing method, and a semiconductor manufacturing factory are also provided.
