ABSTRACT:
An X-ray generating device employing a laser-excited plasma light source has a plurality of luminescent points, or a luminescent portion the form of which is variable in terms of the configuration, size, position and the number of luminescent points. An object such as a mask is illuminated by X-rays generated from the light source under Kohler's illumination conditions. Also disclosed are an X-ray generating method using such a device, as well as a method of producing a semiconductor device.
