Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reflection type exposing method capable of securing the quality of a pattern transferred to a wafer while mitigating allowable specifications of a reflection type mask varying in size error. SOLUTION: The reflection type exposing method includes: a step of selecting a specified pattern, for example, a pattern of the smallest size for a trench mask or hole mask provided to the reflection type mask; and a step of measuring the mask size associated with the pattern. Further, the reflection type exposing method includes: a step of finding a numerical aperture of an illumination optical system so that an influence of a mask size error obtained from variance in measured mask size on a wafer size reaches a predetermined value; and a step of varying coherency of the illumination optical system adaptively to the obtained numerical aperture of the lighting optical system.
