    Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing unclear matter on an optical element (7) used with a radiation beam, is disclosed. A filter (4) is used to introduce light of a desired wavelength into a chamber (6) in which the optical element is accommodated; and a gas (5) supplying device is used to supply a reactive gas which is reactable with the unclear matter on the surface of the optical element (7); and a vacuum-evacuating device is used to vacuum-evacuate the inside of the chamber.

    Abstract: A reflection type mask usable to print a pattern upon a semiconductor wafer by use of soft X-rays or otherwise is disclosed. A reflective surface is formed by a multilayered film which is formed on a substrate by layering different materials having different refractive indices in consideration of Bragg diffraction and Fresnel reflection. A non-reflective portion is formed on the reflecting surface to provide a desired pattern. Alternatively, a pattern comprising a multilayered structure may be formed upon a non-reflective substrate. The mask of the present invention assures pattern printing of high contrast.

    Abstract: 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 pattern image formed by the transmission of the radiation light through the light transmission membrane is rendered uniform.
