    摘要: A near-field exposure apparatus including a light source, a stage on which an object to be exposed to light is placed, and a photomask with a deformable membrane portion having on a first surface a light shielding membrane that has a micro aperture and a substrate for supporting a peripheral region of a second surface of the deformable membrane portion. Exposure is conducted with the deformable membrane portion in a sagged condition. The photomask has a stress relieving structure to relieve stress that is generated at a border between the deformable membrane portion and the substrate when the deformable membrane portion sags. The stress relieving structure is one of: a reinforcing member placed at the border, the substrate being partially thinned near the border, and an intermediate layer that is formed between the substrate and the second surface of the deformable membrane portion.

    摘要: A method of forming a pattern by using a photomask having both a minute aperture where a main component of transmitted light is evanescent light and an aperture where a main component of transmitted light is propagating light. The method includes the steps of forming a photoresist having a film thickness at most equal to a width of the minute aperture on a substrate to be processed, exposing the photoresist by incident light for exposure, and adjusting the film thickness of the photoresist and the conditions of the exposure so as to prevent a photoresist pattern made by the propagating light from extending to an adjacent pattern made by the evanescent light.
