ターン形成ができないという問題があった。The conventional semiconductor photoengraving apparatus is formed as described above, and the width of the opening and the opening pattern of the light-impermeable film are adjusted to allow the ultraviolet light to pass through the light-transmitting member. The desired exposure pattern portion was formed by exposing the resist with the direct transmitted light such as light. However, in the conventional semiconductor photomechanical system, the resist is exposed by the diffracted light of the ultraviolet rays generated at the end of the light-impermeable film and the light-incident surface in contact with the light-impermeable film as an obstacle. There is a problem that an accurate pattern cannot be formed because the area to be exposed extends to an area that does not require exposure other than the desired exposure pattern portion.

Since the incident light is incident on, the amount of light transmitted through a portion where the end portion of the vapor deposition film 21 and the light incident surface 2a are in contact is reduced, the light that causes the diffraction phenomenon is reduced, and the generation of diffracted light is suppressed. As a result, the light transmitted through the light transmitting member 22 and emitted becomes the transmitted light 6a that hardly accompanies the diffracted light, and the highly accurate exposure pattern portion 7 that is not affected by the diffracted light can be formed on the resist 3. Will be things. Further, since it is not affected by the diffracted light, it is possible to form a finer pattern than the conventional one.
