Further, the configuration of the first concave mirror and the mirror is sensitive to errors in manufacturing and assembly. [Invention] The present invention has been invented by the above-mentioned problems, and is independent of the first concave mirror and the second concave mirror. The purpose of the positional offset conduction is reduced. An aspect of the present invention is directed to an exposure apparatus having a projection optical system that projects a pattern of a master, and an optical path between the projection optical master and the substrate includes a first order A concave mirror, a convex mirror, and a second concave mirror mirror the first concave mirror and the second concave mirror support mechanism. The distance between the reflecting surface of the front mirror and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror, and the distance between the reflecting surface of the concave mirror and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror are not supported, and the upper member, the middle member, and the lower member include side members connecting the ends of the mirror a frame-shaped frame; the concave mirror is supported by the lower member by the upper member and the middle member supporting the concave mirror. According to the present invention, for example, it is possible to suppress the first concave mirror and the first independent positional shift from causing a decrease in imaging performance. possibility. When the light is large, the second concave surface is shadowed, for example, so that the image formation is affected by the substrate, and the first concave second side is supported from the side of the front plate. The above and the first and second concave mirrors -5 - 200935188 of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an appropriate embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing the configuration of an exposure apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The exposure apparatus EXP according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a master stage 2 for holding an original (reticule) 1, and a pattern projection of the original 1 which is illuminated by an illumination optical system (not shown). The projection on the substrate 11 is optically exhausted PO and the substrate platform 10 supporting the substrate 11. The projection optical system PO includes the first concave mirror 6, the convex mirror 7, and the second concave mirror 8» which are arranged in order from the side of the original 1 among the optical paths between the original plate 1 and the substrate 11, and connect the center of curvature of the first concave mirror 6. The axis of curvature of the convex mirror 7 and the axis of curvature of the second concave mirror 8 are typically horizontal. The projection optical system PO' has a good image area in the form of a belt at a position away from the optical axis. The projection optical system PO' has a projection magnification other than 1, and is typically a projection magnification larger than 1. At least one of the concave mirror, the convex mirror 7, and the second concave mirror 8 may have an aspherical surface. In Fig. 1, the surface of the substrate 11 is an XY plane, and the XYZ coordinate axis is defined such that the axis orthogonal thereto is the Z axis. The projection optical system PO of this embodiment has a meniscus 12 for correcting the light harvest of the convex mirror 7. The light harvesting of the convex mirror 7 can be corrected more favorably by making the meniscus lens 12 an aspherical lens. The projection optical system p0' for suppressing the focus deviation of the original plate 1 from the substrate 1 1 for -6-200935188 causes a decrease in imaging performance, and is preferably telecentrically formed on both the object side and the image side. The projection optical system PO may have refracted light systems 3 and 9 in order to improve optical performance. The projection optical system PO should have one or a plurality of mirrors 4 for bending the optical axis. The exposure of the substrate 11 is performed by scanning and driving the original plate 1 and the substrate 11 to the projection optical system PO. The speed ratio of the original plate 1 to the substrate 11 is determined in accordance with the projection magnification of the projection optical system PO. After the exposure of one of the shot irradiation areas on the substrate 11 is completed, the substrate 11 is stepwise moved to expose the next irradiation region. The light of the original 1 is selected in accordance with the pattern of the device. For example, in an exposure apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, a high-pressure mercury lamp is used, and a g line (436 nm), an eleven line (405 nm), or an i line (365 nm) is selected. However, the present invention does not limit the wavelength of light used to a particular wavelength. φ As described above, the projection optical system P〇 is configured to have a projection magnification other than 1, and a typical projection magnification larger than 1. In other words, the first distance between the reflecting surface of the first concave mirror 6 and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror 7 is different from the second distance between the reflecting surface of the second concave mirror 8 and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror 7, and is typically the first distance to the second distance. Still small. Fig. 2 is an example showing an offset (magnification. distortion) of an image point which is orthogonal to the position of the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 which is orthogonal to the plane of the light. In Fig. 2, the "first concave surface" indicates the amount of shift of the image dot due to the positional deviation of the first concave mirror 6 in a specific direction. In Fig. 2, the "second concave surface" indicates the amount of shift of the image forming point due to the positional deviation of the second concave mirror 8 in the specific direction described above. In Fig. 2, the "first concave surface + the second concave surface" shows the amount of shift of the image forming point when the position of the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 is shifted and the direction is the same. As is apparent from Fig. 2, when the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 have different positional errors, the imaging performance of the projection optical system PO is greatly reduced. Further, as is clear from Fig. 2, when the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 have the same positional shift amount and the same direction, the offsets of the image forming points are opposite to each other, and the amounts thereof are almost equal. In short, as illustrated in the "first concave surface + the second concave surface" of Fig. 2, when the positional shift amount and the direction of the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 are the same, the positional deviation causes the position of the image point to be shifted. Most of the shift was offset. Here, in this embodiment, the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 are supported by one support mechanism in a manner in which the respective positional relationships are maintained. Thereby, the amounts and directions of displacement of the first concave mirror 6 and the second concave mirror 8 become equal. The support mechanism includes an upper member, a middle member, a lower member, and a shed-shaped frame including a side member that connects the end portions: the first concave mirror 6 is supported by the upper member and the middle member, and the second member The concave mirror 8 is supported by the aforementioned lower member. Figs. 3 and 4 are views showing the configuration of a projection optical system PO according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The projection optical system p0 includes a first concave mirror 6, a convex mirror 7 and a second concave mirror 8 which are arranged in order from the side of the original 1 in the optical path between the original plate 1 and the substrate 11, and a first concave mirror 6 and a second concave mirror 6 2 -8- 200935188 Support mechanism for concave mirror 8. Here, the distance between the reflecting surface of the first concave mirror 6 and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror 7 is different from the distance between the reflecting surface of the second concave mirror 8 and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror 7. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the reflecting surface of the first concave mirror 6 and the reflecting surface of the convex mirror 7 are offset from each other in the Y-axis direction. The support mechanism includes an upper member 105, a middle member 107, a lower member 108, and a shed-shaped frame 120 including side members 111 connecting the ends thereof. The frame 120 is disposed in the barrel chamber 101.
