Zusammenfassung:An exposure method for transferring a device pattern to a resist, wherein the device pattern includes a first element and a second element having a linewidth narrower than the first element. The method includes a first exposure step for exposing the resist by use of an interference fringe, produced by interference of two light beams, through an exposure amount substantially not greater than a threshold of the resist, and a second exposure step for exposing the resist with a light pattern related to the first and second elements. A light component, of the light pattern, related to the first element bears an exposure amount greater than the threshold, a light component, of the light pattern, related to the second element bears an exposure amount not greater than the threshold and is to be combined with light in a portion of the interference fringe, and a sum of the exposure amount of the light component related to the second element and an exposure amount provided by the light in the portion of the interference fringe is greater than the threshold.
