ABSTRACT:
A reticle and an exposure apparatus using the reticle are provided. The reticle includes alignment marks having a plurality of segments along coordinate directions corresponding to a plurality of regions of the reticle, in symmetrical positions about coordinate axes. The reticle also includes detection sensors having detection regions corresponding to a mirror image of the alignment marks of the reticle. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent alignment errors generated due to aberration of a lens from being different on different sides of each coordinate axis, thus enabling more precise reticle alignment and therefore overlay alignment.
