ABSTRACT:
An alignment and exposure method usable in manufacture of semiconductor devices, for aligning a mask and a wafer and for exposing the wafer to the mask to print a pattern of the mask on a photoresist of the wafer, is disclosed. The method includes illuminating an alignment mark of the wafer with first illumination light having a center wavelength at a first wavelength and second illumination light having a center wavelength at a second wavelength; adjusting the proportion of the first illumination light and the second illumination light; photoelectrically detecting the alignment mark of the wafer and adjusting the relative position of the wafer to the mask on the basis of a detection signal formed as a result of the photoelectric detection; and exposing the wafer to the mask with exposure light.
