Abstract:
An exposing method includingcondensing or magnifying X-rays generated from an X-ray source through an X-ray mirror in a beam line, thereafter transmitting the X-rays through a window member serving as a vacuum barrier, further transmitting the X-rays through an X-ray mask consisting of a mask substrate and an absorber pattern thereon, and irradiating a resist with the X-rays, wherein the resist has a main absorption waveband in the wave range of at least 3 Ã¥ and not more than 13 Ã¥ and contains an element, mainly absorbing the X-rays, and generating Auger electrons having energies of at least about 0.51 KeV and not more than 2.6 KeV, and generating photoelectrons having energies of at least 0.7 KeV and not more than 1.4 KeV.
