Abstract

An exposure method for exposing a plate with an image of a pattern of a mask comprises: reciprocating the mask along X direction, synchronizing a movement of the mask and a movement of the plate to +X direction, projecting an image of a first pattern of the mask onto the plate as an erected image with respect to +X direction during a first period in which the mask that is reciprocating is moved in +X direction, and projecting an image of a second pattern of the mask onto the plate as an inverted image with respect to +X direction during a second period in which the mask that is reciprocating is moved in −X direction.
