Abstract
A method of exposing a photosensitive substrate with a band-narrowed laser beam from an excimer laser includes providing a stop having an opening in a path of the laser beam; adjusting a size of the opening of the stop to substantially compensate for a change in bandwidth of the laser beam; and exposing after the adjustment the substrate with the laser beam.
