Abstract

A projection optical system for projecting a pattern of a mask onto a wafer, includes at least one aspherical surface lens having an aspherical surface on one side and a flat surface on the other side, the spherical surface satisfying a relation |&Dgr;ASPH/L|>1×10−6 where &Dgr;ASPH is the aspherical amount of the aspherical surface and L is an object-to-image distance of the projection optical system.
