FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining the principle of a Lloyd type interference lithography apparatus, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an interference lithography apparatus for improving the same.

However, in the above apparatus, the spatial axes of the spatial filter and the interference light must be strictly adjusted every time the incident angle &thetas; of the two interference lights is adjusted, and it is difficult to control the interference lithography apparatus at a specific incident angle. Furthermore, if the angle of incidence can not be precisely controlled, incidence angles of the left / right interference light can not be matched, and the period of the pattern to be formed can not be precisely controlled.
In order to form a two-dimensional periodic pattern in the case of the Lloyd's mirror method and the Mach-Zender method, there is a problem that the sample wafer must be rotated twice at the desired angle after the first exposure, have.
