Abstract:
1. A near-field exposure method, comprising injecting light onto a resist layer formed on a second substrate, with a near-field exposure mask formed on a surface of a transparent first substrate, the near-field exposure mask comprising a near-field light generating unit, wherein the near-field light generating unit comprises at least one element selected from the group consisting of Au, Al, Ag, Cu, Cr, Sb, W, Ni, In, Ge, Sn, Pb, Zn, Pd, and C, and the injecting light comprises arranging the near-field light generating unit in contact with the resist layer, the light entering from a direction inclined with respect to a perpendicular of a surface of the transparent first substrate on the opposite side from the surface on which the near-field light generating unit is formed, or a perpendicular of a surface of the second substrate on the opposite side from a surface on which the resist layer is formed, the light being p-polarized light.
