<p>An illumination optical system, an exposure apparatus, and a device manufacturing method are provided to control continuously the amount of light without increasing complexity of a hardware structure. An illumination optical system illuminates a target surface by using light irradiated from a light source. An iris(25) is arranged on a pupil plane of the illumination optical system. The iris has a constant area. An irradiation range control unit controls an irradiation range of the light at the pupil plane. The irradiation range of the light includes an opening. The irradiation range control unit changes the irradiation range in order to control the amount of light at an illuminating target. The irradiation range control unit includes a zoom optic system(28).</p> |
