ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an exposure method comprising preparing an exposure apparatus including an illumination system and a projection lens, setting, in the exposure apparatus, a photomask having a mask pattern including a plurality of unit circuit patterns arranged like a checkered flag pattern and a plurality of unit auxiliary patterns arranged between the unit circuit patterns, and projecting the mask pattern onto a substrate through the projection lens by irradiating the photomask with light from the illumination system, wherein the unit circuit patterns and the unit auxiliary patterns generate a plurality of diffraction light spots on a pupil plane of the projection lens, and the four diffraction light spots having higher light intensities than the remaining diffraction light spots are distributed on the pupil plane in a cycle of 90°.
