A debris removing system prevents debris from being scattered from an X-ray source. The debris removing system includes an attracting unit, disposed between a light emission point of the X-ray source and the optical system, for attracting debris. The attracting unit has an attracting surface parallel or approximately parallel to an axis passing through the light emission point. The debris removing system further includes a rotation unit for rotating the attracting unit about the axis. This debris removing system assures a superior debris removing effect and a good EUV light utilization efficiency, being compatible with each other.

An optical arrangement includes an optical system for transforming synchrotron radiation light emitted from an emission point of a synchrotron ring into a substantially parallel beam, with respect to a first direction which is parallel to an orbit plane of the synchrotron ring and with respect to a second direction which is perpendicular to the orbit plane, wherein an absolute value of a focal length of the optical system in the first direction is smaller than that in the second direction.

An X-ray optical apparatus includes a mirror element for reflecting an X-ray beam and a mechanism for applying vibrations of a predetermined excitation frequency to the mirror element to produce elastic vibrations to cause deformation of the surface of the mirror element. An illumination method and a device manufacturing method utilize such an X-ray optical apparatus for irradiating an object to be illuminated, such as a mask and a wafer, with the reflected X-ray beam, so that a pattern of the mask is transferred to the wafer.

A reflection type mask for X-ray lithography based on a phase shift method. A multilayered film of the mask is locally irradiated with an energy beam to provide a phase shifter, on the basis of a change in film thickness period resulting from a temperature rise. By heating the multilayered film to 100 deg. (.degree.C.) or a few hundred deg. (.degree.C.), a film thickness period change of a few percentages occurs without substantially changing the reflectivity. Thus, by selecting the heating condition suitably, a desired phase shifter for changing the phase of reflected light by .pi. can be provided.

An exposure method using X-rays from a synchrotron radiation source includes determining a relationship between an X-ray intensity distribution and an exposure amount distribution in an exposure area; and effecting exposure operation while controlling a dose amount for respective positions in the exposure area using the relationship, wherein the dose amount is controlled by changing a driving profile of a movable shutter for controlling the exposure operation, and wherein the relationship is in the form of a proportional coefficient between an X-ray intensity and the exposure amount as a function of position information in the exposure area.
