Abstract: An electronic device manufacturing method includes performing scanning exposure in which plural scan fields of a first photosensitive substrate are exposed to pulse laser light having a reference wavelength, measuring overlay errors at plural positions in each of the plural scan fields, calculating the average of the overlay errors at each of the plural positions in scan fields scanned in the same scan direction out of the plural scan fields, calculating the amount of wavelength adjustment with respect to the reference wavelength in such a way that a first overlay error parameter calculated from the averages and distortions produced when the wavelength of the pulse laser light is changed from the reference wavelength is smaller than a second overlay error parameter calculated from the averages, causing a laser apparatus to generate the pulse laser light having a wavelength controlled by using the amount of wavelength adjustment, outputting the pulse laser light to an exposure apparatus, and exposing a second photosensitive substrate to the pulse laser light in the exposure apparatus to manufacture electronic devices.
