A correcting device corrects imaging characteristics of the projection optical systems, based on the positional deviations. The first reference marks can comprise a single aperture of a plurality of apertures. A reverse-type aperture may be employed. The positional deviation detector may include a single photodetector or a plurality of photodetectors.

    • An exposure method, exposure apparatus and mask are suitable for manufacturing an active matrix liquid crystal display including, for example, a gate electrode layer and a source/drain electrode layer. A stitching portion between unit patterns in a second layer is offset from the stitching portion in a first layer by a predetermined distance. The stitching portions of the second layer are always positioned over unit patterns of the first layer. Accordingly, the contrast gap that occurs at the stitching portion as a boundary is defined only by an error in the exposure position of the second layer. The contrast gap is not affected by an error in the exposure position of the first layer, unlike the conventional method. Because the contrast gap caused by the error in the exposure position of the first layer is eliminated, the total contrast gap that occurs at the stitching portion as a boundary is significantly reduced.
    • 曝光方法,曝光装置和掩模适用于制造包括例如栅极电极层和源极/漏极电极层的有源矩阵液晶显示器。 第二层中的单元图案之间的缝合部分在第一层中与缝合部分偏移预定距离。 第二层的缝合部分总是位于第一层的单位图案之上。 因此,在作为边界的缝合部分发生的对比度间隙仅由第二层的曝光位置的误差限定。 与传统方法不同,对比度间隙不受第一层的曝光位置的误差的影响。 由于消除了由第一层的曝光位置的误差引起的对比度间隙,所以在作为边界的缝合部分发生的总对比度间隙显着减小。

    • An exposure device sequentially transfers a pattern formed in a mask onto connected multiple regions present consecutively on a substrate through a projection optical system. The device includes a substrate stage moving in two dimensions and carrying the substrate in a movement coordinate system determined by a first axis and a mutually perpendicular second axis. A mark detecting sensor detects positions of alignment marks formed on the substrate. A magnification adjustment device corrects the magnification of the projection optical system. At least one calculating device is used to separately calculate extension amounts of the substrate in the direction of the first axis and in the direction of the second axis based on information relating to the positions of the alignment marks detected by the mark detecting sensor. An amount of magnification correction provided by the magnification adjustment device is set based on the extension amounts calculated, and scales of the first and second axes of the movement coordinate system specifying movement of the substrate stage are changed by identical amounts.
