ABSTRACT:
A substrate is mounted on a stage of an exposure system, and an exposure light is converged on a material formed on the substrate to form a latent image. An auto-focusing light is emitted on the latent image, and the reflected light therefrom is detected. The focusing or defocusing state is judged on the basis of the detected result. When it is judged that the exposure light is defocused on the material formed on the substrate, the drive unit is driven for focus control so as to allow the exposure light to be focused on the material formed on the substrate.
