    Abstract: An exposure method suitable for a photolithography process is described. First, a wafer with a group of alignment marks formed thereon is provided. A first alignment step is conducted by using the group of the alignment marks on the wafer to obtain a first calibration data. Next, a second alignment step is conducted by using a portion of the group of alignment marks on the wafer to obtain a second calibration data. The first calibration data is then compared with the second calibration data to obtain a comparison result. Next, a photoresist exposure step is conducted on the wafer according to the comparison result.

    Abstract: A method for exposure is provided to avoid a rise in temperature of a lens set. First, a light beam passes through a first light-receiving region of the lens set to expose a pattern on a substrate, and the first light-receiving region has a rise in temperature. Thereafter, the first light-receiving region is moved away. Afterwards, the light beam passes through a second light-receiving region of the lens set so that the first light-receiving region has a drop in temperature.
