Abstract

A mask stage speed |Vm|, a wafer stage speed |Vw|, and an absolute value |&Dgr;S| of a beam deflection value are determined (step 101). Then, it is judged whether a stripe number is even or odd (step 108) and deflective directions of a mask stage, a wafer stage, and a wafer deflector are set in accordance with the above judgment result (steps 109 and 110). Then, the wafer stage and mask stage respectively start continuous movement (step 113) and divided patterns are exposed (step 115-119). It is judged whether all divided patterns are exposed (step 120). When all divided patterns are not exposed, the next divided pattern is exposed by adding a deflection value on a wafer corresponding to a beam width on a mask (step 121).
