Abstract

According to this invention, illumination light for illuminating a mask on which a micropattern is drawn is inclined at an angle corresponding to a numerical aperture of an optical projection lens located below the mask with respect to an optical axis. The illumination light is obliquely incident on the mask to expose the micropattern on an object located below the optical projection lens.
