By causing a mask and a wafer to continuously move once or more and irradiating a plurality of small areas contained within a specific range of the mask in time sequence with a charged particle beam during each such continuous movement, the pattern in each small area is selectively projected onto a projection target area contained within a specific range of the wafer. The pattern to be projected onto one projection target area is divided and formed on a plurality of specific small areas contained within a specific range of the mask, and when the reduction ratio of the pattern projected from the mask onto the wafer is at 1/M, the continuous movement speed of the mask is set to be (NxM) times the continuous movement speed of the wafer (N being a real number larger than 1) and the charged particle beam to be conducted to the wafer is deflected in the direction of the continuous movement at a speed so that a relative speed of the pattern image which is projected onto the wafer and the wafer itself becomes substantially zero.
