Abstract:
1. A method of adjusting an immersion exposure apparatus that comprises a first holding part, which holds a substrate, and a second holding part, which holds the substrate before the substrate is held by the first holding part, the immersion exposure apparatus exposing the substrate, which is held by the first holding part, through a projection optical system and a liquid, the method comprising: transferring a temperature detector to the second holding part; detecting a second temperature with the temperature detector while holding the temperature detector with the second holding part; transferring the temperature detector from the second holding part to the first holding part after the detection of the second temperature; detecting a first temperature with the temperature detector while holding the temperature detector with the first holding part; and adjusting the temperature of at least one of the first holding part and the second holding part based on a detection result of the temperature detector.
