In an exposure device 100 having a vertically movable stage device 120,
and which performs exposure by projecting a pattern recorded on a hologram mask
130 onto a substrate to be exposed 110 on which is formed a photosensitive
material film 112 and which is placed on the above stage device, a film
thickness measurement mechanism 160, 162 measures the thickness of the photosensitive
material film 112, and based on the measured film thickness a light amount
control mechanism 162 controls the amount of exposure light from the exposure
light source 140. An appopriate amount of light is set according to the
film thickness, so that an accurate pattern can be formed in a single exposure pass.
