Abstract: An optical exposure method in photolithography applied for precise processing when semiconductor devices are produced. A pattern on a photomask is projected and exposed on a register on a base plate with an exposure device including a deformation illumination system, a photomask and a projection lens. The deformation illumination system is composed of a light source, a diaphragm and a condenser lens, and the diaphragm is provided with a linear through-hole.
