An X-ray exposure apparatus includes a partition structure for defining therein an ambience of one of an atmospheric pressure and a reduced pressure, for accommodating an X-ray mask and an article to be exposed, an X-ray window provided on the partition structure for spatially isolating the inside of the partition structure and an X-ray source, and having a function for transmitting therethrough an X-ray beam with which the article as placed inside the partition structure can be exposed through the X-ray mask, and a scanning mechanism for scanningly moving the X-ray window in a direction intersecting with an optical axis of the X-ray beam, in a single exposure and without interruption at least from just before the start of the exposure to just after the end of the exposure.
