Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry an X-ray mask without damaging the flatness of the surface of a mask pattern and without being brought into contact with the pattern surface by forming a slant face inclined to the mask center side on the pattern side to the outer circumferential section of a mask housing and mechanically holding the mask to a ring-shaped holding substrate by utilizing the slant face. CONSTITUTION:A slant face 4 inclined to the mask center side on the pattern side is shaped to the outer circumferential section of a mask housing 3 in thickness of 0.5-2mm. Fixing holders 6 and a movable holder 8 energizing the mask support frame 3 toward a mask center by an elastic body 7 are mounted to a holding substrate 5, and the movable holder 8 is pushed against the slant face 4 of the mask housing 3, thus positively holding a mask to the holding substrate 5. An extent to which the weight of the mask is supported is satisfied by energizing force toward the center of the elastic body 7, and the upper and lower surfaces 9, 10 of the holding substrate 5 are handled when the mask is carried up to a mask chuck from the outside of an exposure device and set up, thus carrying the mask without being completely brought into contact with the surface of a mask pattern.
