Abstract:
An exposing apparatus for transferring a final pattern onto photosensitive material, the final pattern including parallel lines, comprising:a plate for supporting the photosensitive material,a photomask defining a transfer pattern, said transfer pattern being provided with a linear portionhaving a plurality of lines in parallel and an arbitrary portion,a light irradiation device for irradiation of light onto said photosensitive material through said photomask,said photomask and said light irradiation device movable in X and Y directions within an area including said plate, said linear portion on said photomask sequentially and continuously transferred onto the photosensitive material as said photomask is moved with respect to said plate along a moving line, said moving line parallel to the lines transferred onto said photosensitive material,wherein said transfer pattern is defined by the final pattern being divided into arbitrary portions in a direction orthogonal to the parallel lines transferred onto said plate.
