Abstract

While a convex mirror is being rotated or rotatingly vibrated about a rotational axis which is parallel to the center axis of the convex mirror and which is eccentric to the convex mirror, a synchrotron radiation flux is caused to be incident on the convex mirror, and a radiation sensitive resist film is irradiated with the reflected radiation flux through a mask. Thus, an area of uniform irradiation can be increased remarkably as compared with that in a prior art, and the invention is well suited to the irradiation of a semiconductor wafer having a large area.
