    Abstract: An exposure method for exposing a workpiece on the basis of near-field light escaping from an opening of a mask, wherein nonpolarized exposure light from a light source is projected onto an exposure mask having a light blocking film and a plurality of rectangular openings formed in the light blocking film, the openings having a width in a widthwise direction not greater than one-third of the exposure light and having its lengthwise directions extending in two or more directions along the mask surface, so that near-field light escaping from the openings is produced thereby to perform exposure of a pattern on the basis of the openings.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an exposure apparatus, an exposure method and an exposure mask, for improved optical lithography. Specifically, in accordance with one preferred form of the invention, the exposure apparatus is arranged to be used with an exposure mask having an elastically deformable holding member and a light blocking film provided on the holding member and being formed with an opening pattern, wherein for exposure the exposure mask is flexed to be brought into contact with an object to be exposed. The exposure apparatus includes a distance detecting system for detecting a distance between the exposure mask before being flexed and the object to be exposed, and a distance controlling system for controlling the distance between the exposure mask before being flexed and the object to be exposed, on the basis of a signal from the distance detecting system.
