In the heating of a substrate in a lithographic process, temperature conditions for heating a substrate on which a resist is formed exert a large influence upon the pattern dimensions, and the pattern dimensions vary greatly in the heating from only one of the surfaces of the substrate. There is provided a substrate heating apparatus for heating a substrate before or after irradiation of light for performing a pattern by using a photosensitive material formed on a substrate or by using a material which is photosensitive to charged particles formed on the substrate. The substrate heating apparatus includes an upper heater which serves as a heat source for heating the substrate from the top surface thereof, a lower heater which serves as a heat source for heating the substrate from the bottom surface thereof, and a heat-conducting heater block provided on the lower heater, on which heater block the substrate is placed, making it possible to individually set the temperatures of the upper and lower heaters.
