    Abstract: A projection exposure apparatus including a mask stage (70) for supporting a mask (7), a wafer stage (10) for supporting a wafer (9), and a projection optical system (6,8) for projecting on the wafer an image of a circuit pattern of the mask is disclosed. There are provided a surface position detecting system (18) for detecting a position of a surface of the wafer with respect to a direction of an optical axis of the projection optical system, an adjusting device (20) for adjusting an interval between the wafer and the projection optical system, to position the wafer surface at a focus position of the projection optical system, an outputting portion operable to direct a light beam to a reflection surface (17), provided at a predetermined site on the wafer stage, and to receive reflection light coming from the reflection surface through the projection optical system, the outputting portion producing a signal corresponding to a positional relationship between the reflection surface and the focus position of the projection optical system. Focus position detecting system operates to detect the focus position of the projection optical system, on the basis of the signal from the outputting portion, and a control system (19) operates to control the adjusting device on the basis of an output of the focus position detecting system and an output of the surface position detecting system.

    Abstract: An electron beam exposure apparatus which minimizes the influence of the space charge effect and aberrations of a reduction electron optical system, and simultaneously, increases the exposure area which can be exposed at once, thereby increasing the throughput. An electron beam exposure apparatus having a source for emitting an electron beam and a reduction electron optical system for reducing and projecting, on a target exposure surface, an image of the source, includes a correction electron optical system which is arranged between the source and the reduction electron optical system to form a plurality of intermediate images of the source along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the reduction electron optical system, and corrects in advance aberrations generated when the intermediate images are reduced and projected on the target exposure surface by the reduction electron optical system.
