Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a circuit element, comprising:performing first exposure for transferring a pattern comprising a first pattern portion and a second pattern portion adjacent to the first pattern portion onto an exposure target substrate, the first pattern portion having a corner point opposing the second pattern portion for forming a particular pattern which is used in a circuit element;moving the pattern, transferred on the exposure-target substrate, in a slanting direction with respect to each of segments forming an outer periphery of the first pattern portion, which is adjacent to the corner point of the first pattern portion, such that each of the segments forming the outer periphery of the pattern before moving and that of the pattern after moving are in parallel with each other; andperforming second exposure for transferring the pattern onto the exposure-target substrate to generate the particular pattern which is used in the circuit element.
