Scribe lines demarcating semiconductor chips comprise, in both the
vertical direction and the horizontal direction, first-type scribe lines
of the minimum width enabling cutting by dicing or other means, and
second-type scribe lines enabling placement of TEGs, alignment marks or
other accessories, and a placement pattern is set so that a unit cell
which can be exposed in a single shot comprises one second-type scribe
line. By this means, the area occupied by scribe lines can be reduced.
Further, by decreasing the number of placement of semiconductor chips
constituting a unit cell, and by cutting substantially along the center
line of second-type scribe lines, the shapes of scribe lines on the
periphery of semiconductor chips can be changed, so that the position in
the unit cell can be determined.
