Patent ID: 8654307

Claim:
A scanning exposure apparatus that exposes a pattern of a first object onto a second object by moving the first object and the second object synchronously with each other in a first direction, comprising: a first projection optical system which forms an enlargement image of an area within a field of view on the first object onto an image field on the second object; and a second projection optical system arranged with an interval with respect to the first projection optical system in the first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, which forms an enlargement image of an area within a field of view on the first object onto an image field on the second object, wherein when an interval in the first direction between a center of the field of view of the first projection optical system and a center of the field of view of the second projection optical system is set as Dm, an interval in the first direction between a center of an image field formed by the first projection optical system and a center of an image field formed by the second projection optical system is set as Dp, and projection magnification of each of the first projection optical system and the second projection optical system is set as β, a condition: Dp<Dm×|β| (where, |β|>1) is satisfied, and, wherein the pattern on the first object includes a first row pattern part arranged correspondingly to the first projection optical system, and a second row pattern part arranged correspondingly to the second projection optical system, the first row pattern part and the second row pattern part each include a first end and a second end disposed at opposite ends of the row pattern parts in the first direction, the first and second ends of adjacent first and second row pattern parts deviate from each other in the first direction by an amount given by (Dm×|β|−Dp)/|β|.
