Patent ID: 8557611

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an exposure apparatus which includes (a1) a light emission part generating EUV light by plasma excitation of a predetermined atom, (a2) a condenser part condensing the EUV light emitted from the light emission part, (a3) an exposure part irradiating a substrate via a mask with the EUV light condensed by the condenser part, (a4) a monitor detecting a position of an emission point of the EUV light within the light emission part, and (a5) a drive part adjusting a position of the light emission part; (b) adjusting the exposure apparatus; the adjusting step including the steps of, (b1) generating the EUV light in the light emission part, (b2) detecting the emission point of the EUV light by the monitor, (b3) calculating a shift amount between the emission point and a reference emission point, and (b4) adjusting the position of the emission point of the EUV light by driving the drive part according to a calculation result of the shift amount; and (c) exposing a light sensitive film formed above the substrate, the exposing step, after the (b4) step, guiding corrected EUV light, which has been emitted from the light emission part and condensed by the condenser part, to the exposure part to expose the light sensitive film within the exposure part.
