ABSTRACT:
A method of aligning a mask pattern and a wafer pattern by referring to alignment marks on chips is provided wherein all of the chips to be used for alignment are classified into a plurality of groups so that the shot array alignment is carried out by referring to the alignment marks which are provided at different positions in individual chips. The alignment marks and chip positions for the alignment marks are different for each of the groups.
