ABSTRACT:
An exposure system includes a pulse light source emitting light in response to a trigger signal and giving a predetermined exposure light quantity by a plurality of times of light emission. A reticle has an alignment mark and a light exposure pattern. A projection lens contractedly projects the pattern of the reticle. A wafer has an alignment mark to be located. The wafer is exposed to a projection of the pattern. A wafer stage is movable and carries the wafer. A laser interferometer measures a position of the wafer stage. An alignment device serves to detect a condition of an alignment of the wafer with respect to the reticle in an exposure position.
