ことが可能となる。According to the present invention, while controlling the drawing exposure amount during drawing in the optical path immediately before the objective lens by using the exposure amount measuring device (light amount monitor), the control based on the measured value is performed. Therefore, the actual drawing exposure amount is controlled. In other words, if the drawing exposure amount increases during drawing, the luminous flux blocking rate should be increased to reduce the exposure amount, and if the drawing exposure amount decreases, the luminous flux should be increased to increase the exposure amount. The active filter in the optical path is controlled so as to reduce the blocking ratio, and the actual drawing exposure amount is controlled. By performing this operation in consideration of a time delay, the uniformity of the line width on the substrate can be improved.

In reference to the above, by controlling so that the light flux shielding rate by the active filter is reduced in the portion where the exposure amount is insufficient, and by increasing the shielding ratio in the portion where the exposure amount is large, the line width caused by the process is reduced. The uniformity is also controlled, and the uniformity of the line width on the substrate is improved.

The actual drawing exposure amount is controlled by controlling the luminous flux shielding rate by the method 2. Incidentally, the convex lenses 31 and 33 and the active filter (liquid crystal optical system) shown in FIG.
The combination of 32 may be installed at any position of a to h in the figure, and it is important to arrange an active filter (liquid crystal optical system) 32 at the focal point of the convex lenses 31 and 33 to control the amount of transmitted light. Further, since the shielding rate must be able to be controlled in the vertical direction, an intermediate value of the shielding area of the liquid crystal optical system is set as a normal setting value.
