ABSTRACT:
An advanced exposure apparatus combines a quadrupole illumination system and an annular illumination system, and includes a light source, an adjusting portion comprising a filter to limit the light emitted from the light source, a refractive/diffractive portion for refracting and diffracting the light emitted from the adjusting portion and a focussing portion for focussing the light emitted from the refractive/diffractive portion onto a wafer, wherein the filter is provided with first group holes and second group holes comprising four holes, respectively. In an exposure method using such an apparatus, uniform light intensity distribution can be formed on an image formation plane (or wafer) while improved resolution is maintained. Since image formation information (i.e, light passing through a mask pattern) becomes uniform, a very nearly circular contact hole pattern can be formed, to reduce the proximity effect.
