    摘要: A temperature distribution of an object, such as an optical element, onto which radiation energy is irradiated, is measured. The change of the shape of the object is controlled by varying the temperature of a part of the object on the basis of the measured temperature distribution to stabilize the shape of the object. Also, the shape of the object being irradiated is stabilized by causing the same temperature distribution in the object when in the thermally stable condition to be generated in the object while it is being irradiated. If the shapes of masks used to manufacture semiconductor devices are stabilized by using the above methods, highly integrated semiconductor devices can be manufactured.

    摘要: Disclosed are an X-ray lithography mask, an exposure apparatus and an exposure process such as an X-ray lithography exposure apparatus and an X-ray lithography exposure process. An X-ray lithography mask includes an X-ray transmission membrane, a transfer pattern depicted on the X-ray transmission membrane and a frame for supporting the X-ray transmission membrane. The transfer pattern is depicted on the basis of a changing direction of a film thickness profile of the X-ray transmission membrane. In the exposure apparatus and process, a changing direction of an intensity profile of a radiation light illuminated on an exposure area of a mask is coincident with a changing direction of a film thickness profile of a light transmission membrane on the mask and an illumination time of the radiation light for the exposure area is changed on the basis of the intensity profile of the radiation light and the thickness profile of the light transmission membrane so that the intensity of a transfer patter image formed by the transmission of the radiation light through the light transmission membrane is rendered uniform.

    摘要: An X-ray mirror has a silicon carbide substrate having a convex cylindrical surface, and a carbon layer coated on a surface of said substrate to a thickness ranging from 10 nm to 1 .mu.m by evaporation, such as CVD. In the X-ray mirror in which the carbon layer is coated thereon beforehand, changes in the intensity of reflected light, caused by a contaminating carbon layer attached to the surface of the mirror, can be restricted. When such a mirror is used in an X-ray lithographic apparatus, the number of times the intensity of X-rays is measured or corrected or the mirror is cleaned can be greatly reduced.
