  • Patent number: 8411255
    Abstract: A method of forming a pattern with dots or holes arranged in a two-dimensional period by illuminating, with illumination light, a mask having a light-shielding portion pattern on a translucent substrate, and performing projection and exposure of an object to be exposed through a projection optical system. The illumination light is an effective light source of multipole illumination. A first exposure process is performed with the mask placed at a first position relative to the object to be exposed, and a second exposure process is performed with the mask placed at a second position. The mask has line patterns having lines with a line width a [m] arranged in parallel at a pitch of P. The line patterns are arranged in a mesh such that the line patterns intersect one another at 60° in three directions, and the illumination light is an effective light source of hexapole illumination.

  • Patent number: 8228486
    Abstract: In an exposing method which illuminates, by illumination light, a mask having apertures arranged in matrix and a latticed light shielding portion, projects the mask on an object to be projected via a projection optical system, and thus forms a dark portion pattern image at a position conjugate in relation to intersections of a lattice of the light shielding portion, an available light source shape of the illumination satisfies a specific condition. Therefore, it is possible to exposure a two-dimensional periodic pattern to a theoretical limit pitch being the same as that of a one-dimensional periodic pattern, and it is also possible to secure a depth of focus sufficiently.
