摘要： This invention discloses an immersion exposure method which executes immersion exposure for an exposure target film by transferring an image of a pattern formed on a mask onto the exposure target film through an immersion medium. A first vapor pressure as the target value in an immersion exposure atmosphere which surrounds the immersion medium is set. A second vapor pressure in the immersion exposure atmosphere is measured. The first vapor pressure is compared with the second vapor pressure. Whether to adjust the vapor pressure in the immersion exposure atmosphere is selected in accordance with the comparison result.

摘要： An exposure method includes setting a photo mask into an exposure apparatus. The exposure apparatus includes an opening/closing unit configured to block a part of exposure light from a light source to the wafer. The photo mask having a product area in which a pattern to be used when a central part of a wafer is exposed is formed and peripheral exposure areas in each of which a pattern to be used when a peripheral area is exposed is formed. The peripheral exposure areas are formed to have a plurality of types of pattern densities. Then, a peripheral part of the wafer exposed. When exposing, the opening/closing unit is opened such that one or more of exposed photo mask areas selected from among the peripheral exposure areas has a pattern density corresponding to a shot position of the peripheral part.
