    Abstract: A two-beam interference apparatus may include a wafer stage on which a wafer may be set, a beam splitter to split first laser light into second and third laser light having a beam intensity distribution elongated in a first direction within a surface of the wafer, and an optical system to guide the second and third laser light onto the wafer. The wafer is irradiated with the second laser light from a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the third laser light from a third direction perpendicular to the first direction but different from the second direction, to thereby cause interference of the second and third laser light on the wafer. This apparatus increases the accuracy of the two-beam interference exposure.
