Abstract
A lithography apparatus includes a formation unit that forms an alignment mark on a substrate by irradiating the substrate that includes a photosensitizer with light, and a transfer unit that aligns the substrate on the basis of the position of the alignment mark and that transfers a pattern to the substrate by illuminating the photosensitizer with exposure light. The formation unit irradiates a material of a grounding of the photosensitizer with irradiation light at a wavelength that differs from that of the exposure light and forms the alignment mark on the material by processing the material with energy of the irradiation light.
