Abstract

A method for exposing a chemically amplified resist on a semi-conductive substrate comprises the steps of removing a chemically active gas which is chemically active on the chemically amplified resist from an inside of a chamber receiving a light source, the chemically amplified resist and the semiconductor substrate, and exposing at least a part of the chemically amplified resist on the semiconductor substrate to a light from the light source means so that the chemically amplified resist reacts to the light from the light source and is prevented from reacting to the chemically active gas.
