    摘要: A photolithography method using near-field light includes a step of controlling the position of an exposure mask and an object to be processed so as to make the object to be located in a region where near-field light is present, and a step of exposing the object to near-field light while controlling the intensity of such light as a function of the aperture density of the exposure mask. The intensity of near-field light is controlled by modifying the aperture width or modifying the transmissivity of the exposure mask depending on the aperture density.

    摘要: A near field light probe is capable of emanating a near field light having a sufficient intensity while allowing reduction of aperture size to improve resolution. The near field light probe can be incorporated in a near-field optical microscope, a near field light lithography apparatus, and a near field light storage apparatus. A near field light probe has a configuration in which a light-blocking film is formed with an aperture having slits surrounding the major opening. Light emitted from a light source is coupled into the probe from one side of the light-blocking film, the light being polarized in a predetermined direction with respect to the slits so that a near field light emanates from the major opening.
