A multilayer mirror aims to reduce incidence angle dependence of
reflectivity. A substrate is made of low thermal polished expansion glass
with 0.2 nm RMS or less roughness of the surface. On the surface thereof
formed is a Ru/Si multilayer having a wide full-width half maximum of
peak reflectivity, and on the Ru/Si multilayer formed is a Mo/Si
multilayer having a high peak reflectivity value. This enables higher
reflectivity than when Ru/Si alone provided and a reflectivity peak
having a wider full-width half maximum than when the Mo/Si multilayer
alone provided. Since Ru absorbs EUV ray more than Mo does, higher
reflectivity is obtainable than that of a structure having the Ru/Si
multilayer formed on the Mo/Si multilayer. The multilayer with a wide
full-width half maximum has small incidence angle dependence of
reflectivity in spectral reflectivity, thereby achieving high imaging
performance in projection optical system.
