ABSTRACT:
An exposure apparatus for transferring a pattern formed on a mask to a photo-sensitive substrate is provided with an illumination optical system for illuminating a local area on the mask with a light beam, a projection optical system for projecting the pattern of the mask to the photosensitive substrate and a scanning device for scanning synchronously the mask and the photosensitive substrate, and a device for setting a width of an exposure area in a scan direction of the photosensitive substrate conjugate with an illumination area on the mask with respect to the projection optical system, to integer times as large as a distance which the photosensitive substrate moves during an interval between pulse emissions from the light source.
