An exposure apparatus includes an illumination optical system adapted to
illuminate a reflection mask with light from an exposure light source,
and a projection optical system adapted to project a pattern image of the
reflection mask disposed in an object plane onto a substrate disposed in
an image plane. The illumination optical system includes a reflection
integrator adapted to form a plurality of secondary light sources with
the light from the exposure light source, a condenser unit adapted to
superimpose beams of light from the secondary light sources with one
another on the reflection mask, and a mirror capable of being disposed in
an optical path instead of the reflection integrator. When the mirror is
disposed in the optical path, an illuminated area formed in the object
plane of the projection optical system is reduced in comparison with that
formed when the reflection integrator is disposed in the optical path.
