Abstract

In the present invention, in the exposure to light of a memory cell array or the like of a semiconductor memory or the like, when a group of unit openings for etching the STI trench regions in which the unit openings for etching the STI trench regions each having a rectangular shape are arranged in rows and columns are transferred by the exposure onto a negative resist film, multiple exposure is appropriately used which includes a first exposure step using a first optical mask having a group of first linear openings extending in a column direction and a second exposure step using a second optical mask having a group of second linear openings extending in a row direction.
