Abstract
When a resist pattern used to manufacture a semiconductor integrated circuit element is formed, high alignment precision can be achieved. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises the steps of: irradiating exposure light onto a resist film coated on a substrate to be etched via a photomask on which at least a first opening pattern and a second opening pattern are formed to thereby expose the resist film; developing the resist film to thereby obtain a resist pattern; etching away the substrate while using the resist pattern as an etching mask to thereby obtain a predetermined pattern; and removing the resist pattern; wherein when the exposure light has first exposure intensity, the predetermined pattern obtained at the step is a pattern corresponding to the first opening pattern and a pattern corresponding to the second opening pattern; and when the exposure light has second exposure intensity, the predetermined pattern obtained at the step is only a pattern corresponding to the second opening pattern.
