Abstract
An exposure method includes reading data representing a relationship between a first parameter relating to an energy ratio between energy of first pulsed laser light having a first wavelength and energy of second pulsed laser light having a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength and a second parameter relating to a sidewall angle of a resist film that is the angle of a sidewall produced when the resist film is exposed to the first pulsed laser light and the second pulsed laser light, and determining a target value of the first parameter based on the data and a target value of the second parameter; and exposing the resist film to the first pulsed laser light and the second pulsed laser light by controlling a narrowed-line gas laser apparatus to output the first pulsed laser light and the second pulsed laser light based on the target value of the first parameter.
