Claim Text:
1. An exposure apparatus that sequentially exposes each of a plurality of shot regions of a substrate by exposure light via liquid between an emitting surface of an optical member and the substrate while moving the substrate in a scanning direction with respect to the exposure light emitted from the emitting surface, the exposure apparatus comprising: a liquid immersion member that includes a first member and a second member and that is configured to form a liquid immersion space of the liquid, the first member being disposed at at least a portion of surrounding of the optical member, the second member being disposed at a portion of surrounding of the optical member; a driving apparatus that is configured to move the second member with respect to the first member; and a controller that is configured to control the driving apparatus, wherein, before or after sequential exposures of each of a plurality of shot regions, which are included in one row on the substrate and are disposed in a direction which intersects with the scanning direction, are performed, shot regions of another row different from the one row are exposed, the controller controls the driving apparatus so that a first operation of the second member in a first movement period of the substrate which is between exposure termination of a first shot region and exposure start of a second shot region is different from a second operation of the second member in a second movement period of the substrate which is between exposure termination of a third shot region and exposure start of a fourth shot region, the first and second shot regions being included in the same row, the third and fourth shot regions being arranged in different rows, and positions of the second member with respect to the optical member are different from each other in the direction which intersects with the scanning direction at start of the first movement period and at start of the second movement period.
