Since it passes through, the second reflecting mirror M2 may be too close to the mask 4 to be difficult to place. Alternatively, since the interval H becomes relatively large, and the incident angle of the light beam to the mask 4 and the incident angle of the light beam to the first reflecting mirror M1 are increased, the reflectance at the mask 4 and the first reflecting mirror M1 decreases. As a result, there is a risk that the throughput of the apparatus may be reduced due to a light amount loss in the mask 4 and the first reflecting mirror M1.
