ABSTRACT:
A scanning type exposure apparatus includes an illumination device for Illuminating a mask, a projection device for projecting a pattern of the mask onto a substrate and a scanning device for scanning, in a scanning direction, the mask and the substrate relative to the illumination device and the projection device, respectively. The projection device includes a stop device for setting an effective numerical aperture in the scanning direction to be larger than an effective numerical aperture in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction. Also disclosed are various photomasks, as well as a scanning type exposure apparatus which scans and exposes a substrate by using such photomasks and a device manufacturing method that includes a step of transferring a device pattern onto a substrate by using such photomasks.
