Abstract: An exposure apparatus for exposing a substrate with X-rays, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a radiation source (1) for providing X-rays; and a convex mirror (2) for reflecting the X-rays from the radiation source toward the substrate to expose a zone (3) of the substrate with the X-rays; wherein the convex mirror and the substrate are so interrelated that a peak position of intensity distribution of the X-rays upon the zone is deviated from the center of the zone.

Abstract: An exposure apparatus usable with synchrotron radiation source (201) wherein the synchrotron radiation (202,204) is generated by electron injection (210) into a ring (201). The exposure apparatus is to transfer a semiconductor element pattern of a mask (208) onto a semiconductor wafer (209) by the synchrotron radiation. The apparatus includes a shutter (207) for controlling the exposure of the wafer (209). The shutter (207) controls the exposure with the illuminance distribution on the wafer surface taken into account. The illuminance distribution is determined (206,211,216) in response to the electron injection (210), and thereafter, the illuminance distribution is corrected (216,215,213,207) in a predetermined manner. By this, the illuminance distribution data for controlling (213,215) the shutter (207) always correspond to the actual illuminance distribution. The entire shot areas of the semiconductor wafer (209) are exposed with high precision.

Abstract: A wafer chuck (2) usable with a semiconductor exposure apparatus (Fig.2A) wherein a mask and a semiconductor wafer (1) are placed in a vacuum ambience or a pressure-reduced gas ambience, and wherein the wafer (1) is exposed through the mask to radiation energy such as X-rays contained in a synchrotron radiation beam, by which the pattern of the mask is transferred onto the wafer (1). The wafer (1) is first attracted on the wafer supporting surface of the chuck (2) by vacuum attraction (21), and thereafter, the wafer (1) is attracted by electrostatic attraction force. Thereafter, the vacuum attraction is broken by supplying (24) a gas. Preferably Helium or other thermally conductive gas is admitted at this point. When the pattern of the mask is transferred onto the wafer (1), the wafer (1) is retained on the wafer supporting surface (20) by the electrostatic attraction force only. By this, the wafer supporting apparatus can correctly contact the wafer supporting surface (20) to the wafer (1) without being influenced by the undulation of the wafer (1). In addition, the heat produced in the wafer (1) during exposure can be removed efficiently by temperature controlled (23) water (11) supplied to the wafer supporting apparatus (2).
