    摘要: An exposure apparatus for illuminating a pattern with light from a light source and for exposing a predetermined surface with light from the pattern includes (i) a projection optical system for projecting the pattern onto the predetermined surface, the projection optical system having at least one optical element having optical surfaces, and (ii) a gas supplying device for locally supplying a gas to the at least one optical element. In one aspect, the gas supplying device directly blows the gas toward one of the optical surfaces of the at least one optical element, which is closest to the predetermined surface, from the predetermined surface side.

    摘要: An X-ray projection exposure apparatus includes a mask chuck, a wafer chuck, an X-ray illuminating system, and an X-ray projection system. The masks chuck holds a reflection X-ray mask having a mask pattern thereon. The wafer chuck holds a wafer onto which the mask pattern is transferred. The X-ray illuminating system illuminates the reflection X-ray mask, held by the mask chuck, with X-rays. The X-ray projection optical system projects the mask pattern of the reflection X-ray mask onto the wafer held by the wafer chuck with a predetermined magnification. The mask chuck includes a mechanism for generating static electricity for attracting and holding the reflection X-ray mask by an electrostatic force. The invention also includes a device manufacturing method using such an X-ray projection exposure apparatus to transfer a mask pattern onto the wafer using the X-ray projection exposure apparatus.
