Moreover, the rotation (inclination) directions around the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis are set to θX direction, θY direction, and θZ direction. 
     First Embodiment 
     A first embodiment will be described.  FIG. 1  is a schematic configuration view showing an example of an exposure apparatus EX according to a first embodiment. The exposure apparatus EX of the present embodiment is a liquid immersion exposure apparatus which exposes a substrate P via a liquid LQ using exposure light EL. In the present embodiment, a liquid immersion space LS is formed so that an optical path K of the exposure light EL which is radiated to the substrate P is filled with the liquid LQ. The liquid immersion space LS means a portion (space or region) which is filled with the liquid. The substrate P is exposed by the exposure light EL via the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS. In the present embodiment, water (pure water) is used for the liquid LQ. 
     Furthermore, for example, the exposure apparatus EX of the present embodiment is an exposure apparatus which includes a substrate stage and a measurement stage as disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,897,963, European Patent Application, Publication No. 1713113, and the like. 
     In  FIG. 1 , the exposure apparatus EX includes: a mask stage  1  which is movable while holding a mask M; a substrate stage  2  which is movable while holding a substrate P; a measurement stage  3  which does not hold the substrate P, and which is movable while mounting a measurement member (measurement instrument) C which measures the exposure light EL is mounted; a measurement system  4  which measures positions of the substrate stage  2  and the measurement stage  3 ; an illumination system IL which illuminates the mask M with the exposure light EL; a projection optical system PL which projects an image of a pattern of the mask M which is illuminated with the exposure light EL to the substrate P; a liquid immersion member  5  which forms the liquid immersion space LS; a controller  6  which controls an operation of the entire exposure apparatus EX; and a storage part  7  which is connected to the controller  6  and stores various information with respect to the exposure. 
     Furthermore, the exposure apparatus EX includes a reference frame  8 A which supports a projection optical system PL and various measurement systems including the measurement system  4 , an apparatus frame  8 B which supports the reference frame  8 A, and a vibration isolator  10  which is disposed between the reference frame  8 A and the apparatus frame  8 B, and suppresses transmission of vibration from the apparatus frame  8 B to the reference frame  8 A. The vibration isolator  10  includes a spring apparatus or the like. In the present embodiment, the vibration isolator  10  includes a gas spring (for example, air mount). Moreover, a detection system which detects an alignment mark of the substrate P or a detection system which detects the surface of the object such as the substrate P may be supported by the reference frame  8 A. 
     Furthermore, the exposure apparatus EX includes a chamber apparatus  9  which adjusts an environment (at least one of temperature, humidity, pressure, and a degree of cleanness) of a space CS to which the exposure light EL advances. At least the projection optical system PL, the liquid immersion member  5 , the substrate stage  2 , and the measurement stage  3  are disposed in the space CS. In the present embodiment, at least a portion of the mask stage  1  and the illumination system IL is also disposed in the space CS. 
     The mask M includes a reticle on which a device pattern projected to the substrate P is formed. The mask M includes a transmission type mask which includes a transparent plate, for example, a glass plate and the like, and a transmission type mask which includes a pattern formed on the transparent plate using a light-shielding material such as chromium. Moreover, a reflection type mask may be used for the mask M. 
     The substrate P is a substrate for manufacturing a device. For example, the substrate P includes a base material such as a semiconductor wafer and a photosensitive film which is formed on the base material. The photosensitive film is a film of a photosensitive material (photoresist). Furthermore, the substrate P may include another film in addition to the photosensitive film. For example, the substrate P may include an antireflection film and a protective film (top coat film) which protects the photosensitive film. 
     The illumination system IL radiates the exposure light EL to a predetermined illumination region IR. The illumination region IR includes positions which can be irradiated with the exposure light EL emitted from the illumination system IL. The illumination system IL illuminates at least a portion of the mask M disposed in the illumination region IR by the exposure light EL having a uniform illumination distribution. For example, as for the exposure light EL which is emitted from the illumination system IL, far-ultraviolet light (DUV light) such as a bright line (g-line, h-line, i-line) emitted from a mercury lamp and KrF excimer laser light (248 nm in wavelength), ArF excimer laser light (193 nm in wavelength), vacuum-ultraviolet light (VUV light) such as F 2  laser light (157 nm in wavelength), and the like are used. In the present embodiment, as for the exposure light EL, ArF excimer laser light, which is ultraviolet light (vacuum-ultraviolet light), is used. 
     The mask stage  1  is movable in a state where it holds the mask M. For example, the mask stage  1  is moved by an operation of a driving system  11  which includes a planar motor as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,452,292. In the present embodiment, the mask stage  1  is able to move in six directions of the X axis, the Y axis, the Z axis, the θX, the θY and the θZ directions by the operation of the driving system  11 . Moreover, the driving system  11  may not include a planar motor. For example, the driving system  11  may include a linear motor. 
     The projection optical system PL radiates the exposure light EL to a predetermined projection region PR. The projection region PR includes positions which can be irradiated with the exposure light EL emitted from the projection optical system EL. The projection optical system PL projects the image of the pattern of the mask M on at least a portion of the substrate P disposed in the projection region PR by a predetermined projection magnification. For example, the projection optical system PL of the present embodiment may be a reduction system in which the projection magnification is ¼, ⅕, ⅛, or the like. Furthermore, the projection optical system PL may be any of an equal magnification system and an enlargement system. In the present embodiment, the optical axis of the projection optical system PL is parallel to the Z axis. Furthermore, the projection optical system PL may be any of a refraction system which does not include a reflective optical element, a reflection system which does not include a refractive optical element, or a reflective refraction system which includes the reflective optical element and the refractive optical element.

The projection region PR includes positions which can be irradiated with the exposure light EL emitted from the emitting surface  12 . In the present embodiment, the emitting surface  12  faces the −Z axis direction and is parallel to the XV plane. Furthermore, the emitting surface  12  facing the −Z axis direction may be a convex surface or a concave surface. Moreover, the emitting surface  12  may be inclined with respect to the XY plane and may include a curved surface. In the present embodiment, the optical axis of the terminal optical element  13  is parallel to the Z axis. In the present embodiment, the exposure light EL which is emitted from the emitting surface  12  is parallel to the −Z axis direction. 
     The substrate stage  2  is able to move in the XY plane, which includes positions (projection region PR) which can be irradiated with the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12 , in a state where the substrate stage holds the substrate P. The measurement stage  3  is able to move in the XY plane, which includes positions (projection region PR) which can be irradiated with the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12 , in a state where a measurement member (measuring instrument) C is mounted on the measurement stage. Each of the substrate stage  2  and the measurement stage  3  is able to move on a guide surface  14 G of a base member  14 . In the present embodiment, the guide surface  14 G and the XY plane are substantially parallel to each other. 
     In the present embodiment, the substrate stage  2  includes a first holding portion which releasably holds the substrate P and a second holding portion which is disposed at a surrounding of the first holding portion and releasably holds a cover member T as disclosed in, for example, United States Patent Application, Publication No. 2007/0177125, United States Patent Application, Publication No. 200810049209, and the like. The first holding portion holds the substrate P so that the surface (upper surface) of the substrate P and the XY plane are substantially parallel to each other. In the present embodiment, the upper surface of the substrate P held by the first holding portion and the upper surface of the cover member T held by the second holding portion are disposed at the substantially same plane. Moreover, the upper surface of the substrate P held by the first holding portion and the upper surface of the cover member T held by the second holding portion may be not disposed at the same plane. Furthermore, the upper surface of the cover member T may be inclined with respect to the upper surface of the substrate P, and the upper surface of the cover member T may include a curved surface. 
     The substrate stage  2  and the measurement stage  3  are moved by an operation of a driving system  15  which includes a planar motor as disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,452,292. The driving system  15  includes a mover  2 C which is disposed at the substrate stage  2 , a mover  3 C which is disposed at the measurement stage  3 , and a stator  14 M which is disposed at the base member  14 . Each of the substrate stage  2  and the measurement stage  3  is able to move on a guide surface  14 G in six directions of the X axis, the Y axis, the Z axis, the θX, the θY, and the θZ axis directions by the operation of the driving system  15 . Moreover, the driving system  15  may not include a planar motor. For example, the driving system  15  may include a linear motor.

The interferometer system includes a part which radiates measurement light to a measurement mirror of the substrate stage  2  and a measurement mirror of the measurement stage  3  and measures the positions of the substrate stage  2  and the measurement stage  3 . Moreover, for example, the measurement system may include an encoder system disclosed in United States Patent Application, Publication No. 2007/0288121. Furthermore, the measurement system  4  may include only one of the interferometer system and the encoder system. 
     When exposure processing of the substrate P is performed, or when predetermined measurement processing is performed, the controller  6  performs a position control of the substrate stage  2  (substrate P) and the measurement stage  3  (measurement member C) based on the measurement results of the measurement system  4 .

In the exposure of the substrate P, the liquid immersion space LS is formed so that the optical path K of the exposure light EL radiated to the substrate P is filled with the liquid LQ. When the exposure light EL is radiated to the substrate P, the liquid immersion space LS is formed so that only a portion of the surface region of the substrate P which includes the projection region PR is covered by the liquid LQ.

     In the present embodiment, the first member  21  is disposed at a surrounding of the terminal optical element  13 . The first member  21  is an annular member. The first member  21  is disposed so as not to contact the terminal optical element  13 . A gap is formed between the first member  21  and the terminal optical element  13 . In the present embodiment, the first member  21  does not face the emitting surface  12 . In addition, a portion of the first member  21  may face the emitting surface  12 . That is, a portion of the first member  21  may be disposed between the emitting surface  12  and the upper surface of the substrate P (object). In addition, the first member  21  may not be annular. For example, the first member  21  may be disposed at a portion of a surrounding of the terminal optical element  13  (optical path K). For example, a plurality of first members  21  may be disposed at a surrounding of the terminal optical element  13  (optical path K).

The substrate P (object) is able to face the lower surface  26 . The upper surface  25  faces the lower surface  24  via the gap. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the upper surface  25  faces the emitting surface  12  via the gap. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the upper surface  25  to face the emitting surface  12 . 
     In the present embodiment, the lower surface  24  of the first member  21  does not recover the liquid LQ. The lower surface  24  is a non-recovery part and is not able to recover the liquid LQ.

Moreover, a portion of the lower surface  24  of the first member  21  may not face the upper surface  25  of the second member  22 . Alternatively, due to the movement of the second member  22 , a state where a portion of the lower surface  24  of the first member  21  does not face the upper surface  25  of the second member  22  may be generated. In this case, the liquid LQ is able to be held between the lower surface  24  and the substrate P (object), and an interface of the liquid LQ (liquid immersion space LS) may be formed between the lower surface  24  and the substrate P (object).

Moreover, the second member  22  may not face the recovery part  23 . That is, the upper surface  25  of the second member  22  may not face the recovery part  23  not only the second member  22  is positioned at the origin but also when the second member  22  is moved from the origin. Furthermore, when the second member  22  is positioned at the origin, the second member  22  and the recovery part  23  may not face each other, and the second member  22  and the recovery part  23  may face each other when the second member  22  is moved from the origin.

Furthermore, in at least a period of the movement period of the second member  22 , a portion of the second member  22  may be disposed outside of the recovery part  23 . Moreover, in the present embodiment, the state where the second member  22  is positioned at the origin means a state where an opening  35  (for example, the center of the opening  35 ) of the second member  22  described below coincides with the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13 .

In the present embodiment, the support members  28  are disposed at the +Y axis side and the −Y axis side with respect to the optical path K (terminal optical element  13 ). The driving apparatus  27  moves the support member  28 , and thus, the second member  22  is moved.

For example, the support members may be disposed at the +X axis side and the −X axis side, and may be disposed at the +Y axis side, the −Y axis side, the +X axis side, and the −X axis side. Moreover, the second member  22  may be supported by one support member.

The support member  28  is moved along the X axis direction by the driving apparatus  27 , and thus, the second member  22  is moved in the X axis direction. 
     At least one of the holes  32  in which the support members  28  are disposed may be formed so as to connect the upper surface  31  and the lower surface  24  of the first member  21 .

Furthermore, as described below, in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the interface of the liquid LQ may be formed between the first member  21  and the upper surface  25  of the second member  22 , and the interface of the liquid LQ may be formed between the lower surface  26  of the second member  22  and the substrate P (object). 
     The second member  22  is able to move with respect to the first member  21 . Moreover, the second member  22  is able to move with respect to the terminal optical element  13 . That is, in the present embodiment, the relative position between the second member  22  and the first member  21  may change. The relative position between the second member  22  and the terminal optical element  13  may change. 
     The second member  22  is able to move in the X axis direction. The second member  22  is able to move to be substantially parallel to the XY plane. Moreover, the second member  22  is able to move in at least one direction of the Y axis, the Z axis, the θX, the θY, and the θZ axis directions, in addition to the X axis direction. 
     In the present embodiment, the terminal optical element  13  does not substantially move. The first member  21  also does not substantially move. 
     The second member  22  is able to move to the lower portion of at least a portion of the first member  21 . The second member  22  is able to move between the first member  21  and the substrate P (object). 
     In the present embodiment, the second member  22  is able to move in parallel with at least a portion of the movement of the substrate P (object). Moreover, in the present embodiment, the second member  22  is able to move in a state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed. Furthermore, the second member  22  is able to move in a state where the liquid LQ is present in the first space SP 1  and the second space SP 2 .

     Furthermore, the second member  22  may move when the second member  22  and the substrate P (object) do not face each other. For example, the second member  22  may move when the object is not present under the second member  22 . Moreover, the second member  22  may move when the liquid LQ is not present in the space between the second member  22  and the substrate P (object). For example, the second member  22  may move when the liquid immersion space LS is not formed. 
     For example, the second member  22  may move based on the movement conditions of the substrate P (object). For example, the controller  6  moves the second member  22  in parallel with at least a portion of the movement of the substrate P (object) based on the movement conditions of the substrate P (object). The controller  6  moves the second member  22  while performing the supply of the liquid LQ from the supply ports  33  and the recovery of the liquid LQ from the recovery ports  37  so that the liquid immersion space LS is formed and is continuous. 
     In the present embodiment, the second member  22  is able to move so that the relative movement between the second member  22  and the substrate P (object) is decreased. Moreover, the second member  22  is able to move so that the relative movement between the second member and the substrate P (object) is smaller than the relative movement between the first member  21  and the substrate P (object). For example, the second member  22  may move in synchronization with the substrate P (object). 
     The relative movement includes at least one of a relative speed and a relative acceleration. For example, in a state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, that is, in a state where the liquid LQ is present in the second space SP 2 , the second member  22  may move so that the relative speed between the second member  22  and the substrate P (object) is decreased. Moreover, in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, that is, in the state Where the liquid LQ is present in the second space SP 2 , the second member  22  may move so that the relative acceleration between the second member and the substrate P (object) is decreased. Furthermore, in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, that is, in the state where the liquid LQ is present in the second space SP 2 , the second member  22  may move so that the relative speed between the second member and the substrate P (object) is smaller than the relative speed between the first member  21  and the substrate P (object). Moreover, in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, that is, in a state where the liquid LQ is present in the second space SP 2 , the second member  22  may move so that the relative acceleration between the second member and the substrate P (object) is smaller than the relative acceleration between the first member  21  and the substrate P (object). 
     For example, the second member  22  is able to move in the movement direction of the substrate P (object). For example, when the substrate P (object) moves in the +X axis direction (or the −X axis direction), the second member  22  is able to move in the +X axis direction (or the −X axis direction). Moreover, when the substrate P (object) moves in the +Y axis direction (or the −Y axis direction) while moving in the +X axis direction, the second member  22  is able to move in the +X axis direction. Furthermore, when the substrate P (object) moves in the +Y axis direction (or the −Y axis direction) while moving in the −X axis direction, the second member  22  is able to move in the −X axis direction. That is, in the present embodiment, when the substrate P (object) moves in the direction which includes the component of the X axis direction, the second member  22  in capable to move in the X axis direction. Furthermore, when the second member  22  is able to move in the Y axis direction, the second member  22  may move in the Y axis direction in parallel with at least a portion of the movement which includes the component of the Y axis direction of the substrate P (object). 
       FIG. 7  shows an example of a state where the second member  22  moves.  FIG. 7  is a view when the liquid immersion member  5  is viewed from below (−Z axis side). 
     In descriptions below, the second member  22  moves in the X axis direction. Moreover, as described above, the second member  22  may move in the Y axis direction and may move in an arbitrary direction in the XY plane which includes the component of the X axis direction (or the Y axis direction). 
     When the substrate P (object) moves in the X axis direction (or a predetermined direction in the XY plane which includes the component of the X axis direction), as shown in  FIGS. 7(A) to 7(C) , the second member  22  moves in the X axis direction. 
     In the present embodiment, the second member  22  is able to move in a movable range which is defined with respect to the X axis direction.  FIG. 7(A)  shows a state where the second member  22  is disposed at the furthest end of the −X axis side of the movable range.  FIG. 7(B)  shows a state where the second member  22  is disposed at the center of the movable range.  FIG. 7(C)  shows a state where the second member  22  is disposed at the furthest end of the +X axis side of the movable range. 
     In descriptions below, the position of the second member  22  shown in  FIG. 7(A)  is appropriately referred to as a first end position, the position of the second member  22  shown in  FIG. 7(B)  is appropriately referred to as a center position, and the position of the second member  22  shown in  FIG. 7(C)  is appropriately referred to as a second end position. Moreover, the center position of  FIG. 7(B)  is the position when the second member  22  is positioned at the origin. 
     In the present embodiment, the size of the opening  35  is determined based on the size of the movable range of the second member  22  so that the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  passes through the opening  35 . In the present embodiment, the size of the movable range of the second member  22  includes the distance between the first end position and the second end position with respect to the X axis direction. The size in the X axis direction of the opening  35  is determined so that, even when the second member  22  moves in the X axis direction, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not radiated to the second member  22 . 
     In  FIG. 7 , the size W 35  of the opening  35  with respect to the X axis direction is larger than the sum of the size Wpr of the exposure light EL (projection region PR) and the size (Wa+Wb) of the movable range of the second member  22 . The size W 35  is determined as the distance over which, even when the second member  22  moves between the first end position and the second end position, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not blocked. Thereby, even when the second member  22  moves, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not blocked by the second member  22  and is able to be radiated to the substrate P (object). 
     Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 8 , in the present embodiment, with respect to the X axis direction, a distance La between the +X axis side end of the opening  35  and the −X axis side end of the second member  22  is smaller than a distance Lb between the +X axis side end of the optical path K of the exposure light EL and the −X axis side end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) which is disposed at the −X axis side with respect to the optical path K of the exposure light EL. Thereby, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the first end position, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not blocked by the second member  22  and is able to be radiated to the substrate P (object). Moreover, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the first end position, a portion of the lower surface  39  faces the second member  22 , and a portion of the lower surface  39  does not face the second member  22 . 
     Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 8 , in the present embodiment, with respect to the X axis direction, a distance Lc between the −X axis side end of the opening  35  and the +X axis side end of the second member  22  is smaller than a distance Ld between the −X axis side end of the optical path K of the exposure light EL and the +X axis side end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) which is disposed at the +X axis side with respect to the optical path K of the exposure light EL. Thereby, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the second end position, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not blocked by the second member  22  and is able to be radiated to the substrate P (object). Moreover, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the second end position, a portion of the lower surface  39  faces the second member  22 , and a portion of the lower surface  39  does not face the second member  22 . 
     Furthermore, with respect to the X axis direction, the size W 35  is smaller than a distance Le between the +X axis side end of the optical path K of the exposure light EL and the +X axis side end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) which is disposed at the −X axis side with respect to the optical path K of the exposure light EL. Thereby, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the first end position, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not blocked by the second member  22 , is able to be radiated to the substrate P (object), and the +X axis side end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) which is disposed at the −X axis side with respect to the optical path K continuously faces the second member  22 . 
     Moreover, with respect to the X axis direction, the size W 35  is smaller than a distance Lf between the −X axis side end of the optical path K of the exposure light EL and the −X axis side end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) which is disposed at the +X axis side with respect to the optical path K of the exposure light EL. Thereby, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the second end position, the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is not blocked by the second member  22 , is able to be radiated to the substrate P (object), and the −X axis side end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) which is disposed at the +X axis side with respect to the optical path K continuously faces the second member  22 . 
     Furthermore, in the state where the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  and the center of the opening  35  coincide with each other, that is, in the state where the second member  22  is disposed at the origin (center position), with respect to the X axis direction, an expression (1) shown below is satisfied when a distance between the center of the opening  35  and the outside end of the second member  22  is set to Xp, a distance between the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  and the inside end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) is set to Xin, and a distance between the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  and the outside end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) is set to Xout.

     Moreover, in the state where the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  and the center of the opening  35  coincide with each other, that is, in the state where the second member  22  is disposed at the origin (center position), with respect to the Y axis direction, an expression (2) shown below is satisfied when a distance between the center of the opening  35  and the outside end of the second member  22  is set to Yp, a distance between the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  and the inside end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) is set to Yin, and a distance between the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  and the outside end of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) is set to Yout.

     Furthermore, the recovery part  23  may include the porous member  38  and the porous member  38  may not be present. Moreover, when the recovery part  23  does not include the porous member  38  and includes the plurality of recovery ports which are disposed so as to enclose the optical path K, the inside end of the recovery part  23  includes virtual lines which connect the inside edges of the plurality of recovery ports, and the outside end of the recovery part  23  includes virtual lines which connect the outside edges of the plurality of recovery ports. The inside edges of the recovery ports are edges nearest to the optical path K with respect to the radial direction to the optical path K. The outside edges of the recovery ports are edges farthest from the optical path K with respect to the radial direction to the optical path K. 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, when the second member  22  is positioned at the origin, the lower surface  24  of the first member  21  and the entire of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) may be opposite to the upper surface  25  of the second member  22 . For example, an outline of the second member  22  in the XY plane may be larger than an outline of the recovery part  23 . In the relative positional relationship between the first member  21  and the second member  22  when the second member  22  is positioned at the origin, at least a portion of the second member  22  when viewed in the +Z axis direction may be disposed outside of the recovery part  23 , and the outline of the second member  22  and the outline form of the recovery part  23  may be substantially same. Moreover, in the state where the second member  22  is disposed at the origin, the second member  22  may not be arranged outside of the recovery part  23  when viewed in +Z axis direction, and in at least a period of the movement period of the second member  22  with in the movable range, at least a portion of the second member  22  may be arranged outside of the recovery part  23 . For example, in the state where the second member  22  is disposed at the origin, the second member  22  may not be arranged outside of the recovery part  23  when viewed in +Z axis direction, and in a state where the second member  22  is disposed at one or both of the first end position and the second end position, at least a portion of the second member  22  may be arranged outside of the first member  21 . 
     Next, a method for exposing the substrate P using the exposure apparatus EX including the above-described configuration will be described. 
     In a substrate exchange position away from the liquid immersion member  5 , processing which carries (loads) the substrate P before the exposure in the substrate stage  2  (first holding portion) is performed. Moreover, in at least a part of a period in which the substrate stage  2  is away from the liquid immersion member  5 , the measurement stage  3  is disposed so as to face the terminal optical element  13  and the liquid immersion member  5 . The controller  6  performs the supply of the liquid LQ from the supply ports  33  and the recovery of the liquid LQ from the recovery part  23  (recovery ports  37 ), and the liquid immersion space LS is formed at the measurement stage  3 . 
     After the substrate P before the exposure is loaded on the substrate stage  2  and the measurement processing using the measurement stage  3  is terminated, the controller  6  moves the substrate stage  2  so that the terminal optical element  13  and the liquid immersion member  5  face the substrate stage  2  (substrate P). In the state where the terminal optical element  13  and the liquid immersion member  5  face the substrate stage  2  (substrate P), the recovery of the liquid LQ from the recovery ports  37  is performed in parallel with the supply of the liquid LQ from the supply ports  33 , and thus, the liquid immersion space LS is formed between the terminal optical element  13  and the liquid immersion member  5 , and the substrate stage  2  (substrate P) so that the optical path K is filled with the liquid LQ. 
     The controller  6  starts the exposure processing of the substrate P. In the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed on the substrate P, the controller  6  emits the exposure light EL from the illumination system IL. The illumination system IL illuminates the mask M with the exposure light EL. The exposure light EL from the mask M is radiated to the substrate P via the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS between the projection optical system PL and the emitting surface  12 , and the substrate P. Thereby, the substrate P is exposed by the exposure light EL which is emitted from the emitting surface  12  via the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS, and the image of the pattern of the mask M is projected to the substrate P. 
     The exposure apparatus EX of the present embodiment is a scanning type exposure apparatus (a so-called scanning stepper) in which the mask M and the substrate P synchronously move in a predetermined scanning direction and the image of the pattern of the mask M is projected to the substrate P. In the present embodiment, the scanning direction of the substrate P (synchronous movement direction) is set to the Y axis direction, and the scanning direction (synchronous movement direction) of the mask M is also set to the Y axis direction. The controller  6  radiates the exposure light EL to the substrate P via the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS on the projection optical system PL and the substrate P while moving the substrate P in the Y axis direction with respect to the projection region PR of the projection optical system PL and moving the mask M in the Y axis direction with respect to the illumination region IR of the illumination system IL in synchronization with the movement in the Y axis direction of the substrate P. 
       FIG. 9  is a view showing an example of the substrate P which is held by the substrate stage  2 . In the present embodiment, a plurality of shot region S, which are regions to be exposed on the substrate P, is arranged in a matrix form. The controller  6  sequentially exposes the plurality of shot region S of the substrate P, which is held by the first holding portion, via the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS by the exposure light EL. 
     For example, in order to expose the first shot region S of the substrate P, in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the controller  6  radiates the exposure light EL to the first shot region S via the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS on the projection optical system PL and the substrate P while moving the substrate P (first shot region S) in the Y axis direction with respect to the projection region PR of the projection optical system PL, and moving the mask M in the Y axis direction with respect to the illumination region IR of the illumination system IL in synchronization with the movement in the Y axis direction of the substrate P. Thereby, the image of the pattern of the mask M is projected to the first shot region S of the substrate P, and the first shot region S is exposed by the exposure light EL which is emitted from the emitting surface  12 . After the exposure of the first shot region S is terminated, in order to start the exposure of a next second region S, in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the controller  6  moves the substrate P in the direction (for example, X axis direction, directions which are inclined with respect to the X axis direction and Y axis direction in the XY plane, or the like) which intersects the X axis in the XY plane, and moves the second shot region S to an exposure starting position. Thereafter, the controller  6  starts the exposure of the second shot region S. 
     The controller  6  repeats the operation which exposes the shot region while moving the shot region in the Y axis direction with respect to the position (projection region PR) irradiated with the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed on the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ), and after the exposure of the shot region, the operation which moves the substrate P in the direction (for example, X axis direction, directions Which are inclined with respect to the X axis direction and Y axis direction in the XY plane, or the like) which intersects the Y axis direction in the XV plane so that the next shot region is disposed at the exposure start position in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed on the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ), and the controller sequentially exposes the plurality of shot regions of the substrate P. 
     In descriptions below, the operation, which moves the substrate P (shot region) in the Y axis direction with respect to the position (projection region PR) irradiated with the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed on the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) in order to expose the shot region, is appropriately referred to as a scan movement operation. Moreover, the operation, which moves the substrate P in the XY plane before the exposure of the next shot region starts in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed on the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) after the exposure of a predetermined shot region is completed, is appropriately referred to as a step movement operation. 
     In the scan movement operation, the exposure light EL is emitted from the emitting surface  12 . The exposure light EL is radiated to the substrate P (object). In the step movement operation, the exposure light EL is not emitted from the emitting surface  12 . The exposure light EL is not radiated to the substrate P (object). 
     The controller  6  sequentially exposes the plurality of shot regions S of the substrate P while repeating the scan movement operation and the step movement operation. Moreover, the scan movement operation is an equal speed movement only with respect to the Y axis direction. The step movement operation includes acceleration and deceleration movement. For example, the step movement operation between two shot regions adjacent in the X axis direction includes the acceleration and deceleration movement with respect to the Y axis direction and the acceleration and deceleration movement with respect to the X axis direction. 
     Moreover, at least a portion of the liquid immersion space LS may be formed on the substrate stage  2  (cover member T) in at least a portion of the scan movement operation and the step movement operation. 
     The controller  6  controls the driving system  15  based on exposure conditions of the plurality of shot regions S on the substrate P and moves the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). For example, the exposure conditions of the plurality of shot regions S are defined by exposure control information referred to as an exposure recipe. The exposure control information is stored in the storage part  7 . The controller  6  sequentially expose the plurality of shot regions S while moving the substrate P by a predetermined condition based on the exposure conditions stored in the storage part  7 . The movement conditions of the substrate P (object) include at least one of the movement speed, the acceleration and deceleration, the movement distance, the movement direction, and the movement locus in the XY plane. 
     As an example, the controller  6  radiates the exposure light EL to the projection region PR while moving the substrate stage  2  so that the projection region PR of the projection optical system PL and the substrate P move along the movement locus shown by an arrow Sr in  FIG. 9 , and sequentially exposes the plurality of shot regions S of the substrate P via the liquid LQ by the exposure light EL. 
     Hereinafter, the above-described processing is repeated, and thus, a plurality of substrates P is sequentially exposed. 
     In the present embodiment, the second member  22  moves in at least a portion of the exposure processing of the substrate P. For example, the second member  22  moves in parallel with at least a portion of the step movement operation of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed. In addition, in the present embodiment, for example, the second member  22  moves in parallel with at least a portion of the scan movement operation of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed. That is, the exposure light EL is emitted from the emitting surface  12  in parallel with the movement of the second member  22 . In addition, the second member  22  may not move during the scan movement operation. That is, the second member  22  may not move in parallel with the emission of the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12 . For example, the second member  22  may move so that the relative movement (relative speed, relative acceleration) between the second member and the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) is decreased when the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) performs the step movement operation. In addition, the second member  22  may move so that the relative movement (relative speed, relative acceleration) between the second member and the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) is decreased when the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) performs the scan movement operation. 
       FIG. 10  is a view schematically showing an example of the movement locus of the substrate P when sequentially exposing a shot region Sa, a shot region Sb, and a shot region Sc while performing the step movement which includes the components in the +X axis direction to the substrate P. 
     As shown in  FIG. 10 , when the shot regions Sa, Sb, d Se are exposed, the substrate P sequentially moves a pathway Tp 1  from a position d 1  to a position d 2  adjacent at the +Y axis side with respect to the position d 1 , a pathway Tp 2  from the position d 2  to a position d 3  adjacent at the +X axis side with respect to the position d 2 , a pathway Tp 3  from the position d 3  to a position d 4  adjacent at the −Y axis side with respect to the position d 3 , a pathway Tp 4  from the position d 4  to a position d 5  adjacent at the +X axis side with respect to the position d 4 , and a pathway Tp 5  from the position d 5  to a position d 6  adjacent at the +Y axis side with respect to the position d 5  under the terminal optical element  13 . The positions d 1 , d 2 , d 3 , d 4 , d 5 , and d 6  are positions in the XY plane. 
     At least a portion of the pathway Tp 1  is a straight line parallel to the Y axis. At least a portion of the pathway Tp 3  is a straight line parallel to the Y axis. At least a portion of the pathway Tp 5  is a straight line parallel to the Y axis. The pathway Tp 2  includes a curved line passing through a position d 2 . 5 . The pathway Tp 4  includes a curved line passing through a position d 4 . 5 . The position d 1  includes the start point of the pathway Tp 1 , and the position d 2  includes the end point of the pathway Tp 1 . The position d 2  includes the start point of the pathway Tp 2 , and the position d 3  includes the end point of the pathway Tp 2 . The position d 3  includes the start point of the pathway Tp 3 , and the position d 4  includes the end point of the pathway Tp 3 . The position d 4  includes the start point of the pathway Tp 4 , and the position d 5  includes the end point of the pathway Tp 4 . The position d 5  includes the start point of the pathway Tp 5 , and the position d 6  includes the end point of the pathway Tp 5 . The pathway Tp 1  is a pathway on which the substrate P moves in the +Y axis direction. The pathway Tp 3  is a pathway on which the substrate P moves in the −Y axis direction. The pathway Tp 5  is a pathway on which the substrate P moves in the +Y axis direction. The pathway Tp 2  and the pathway Tp 4  are pathways on which the substrate P moves in the direction which has the +X axis direction as the main component. 
     When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 1  in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the exposure light EL is radiated to the shot region Sa via the liquid LQ. The operation in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 1  includes the scan movement operation. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 3  in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the exposure light EL is radiated to the shot region Sb via the liquid LQ. The operation in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 3  includes the scan movement operation. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 5  in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the exposure light EL is radiated to the shot region Sc via the liquid LQ. The operation in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 5  includes the scan movement operation. In addition, the operations in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 2  and the pathway Tp 4  include the step movement operation. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 2  and the pathway Tp 4 , the exposure light EL is not radiated. 
       FIG. 11  is a schematic view showing an example of the operation of the second member  22 .  FIG. 11  is a view when the second member  22  is viewed from the upper surface  25  side. When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 1  in  FIG. 10 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(A)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 2 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(B)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). That is, during the scan operation movement of the substrate P from the position d 1  to the position d 2 , the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction, which is reverse to the direction (+X axis direction) of the step movement of the substrate P. When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 2 . 5 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(C)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 3 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(D)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). That is, during the stepping operation movement of the substrate P from the position d 2  to the position d 3 , the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction, which is the same as the direction (+X axis direction) of the step movement of the substrate P. When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 4 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(E)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). That is, during the scan operation movement of the substrate P from the position d 3  to the position d 4 , the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction, which is reverse to the direction (+X axis direction) of the step movement of the substrate P. When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 4 . 5 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(F)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 5 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(G)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). That is, during the stepping operation movement of the substrate P from the position d 4  to the position d 5 , the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction, which is the same as the direction (+X axis direction) of the step movement of the substrate P. When the substrate P is positioned at the position d 6 , the second member  22  is disposed at the position shown in  FIG. 11(H)  with respect to the projection region PR (the optical path K of the exposure light EL). That is, during the scan operation movement of the substrate P from the position d 5  to the position d 6 , the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction, which is reverse to the direction (+X axis direction) of the step movement of the substrate P. 
     In the present embodiment, the positions of the second member  22  shown in  FIGS. 11(A), 11(D) , and  11 (G) include the second end position. The positions of the second member  22  shown in  FIGS. 11(B), 11(E) , and  11 (H) include the first end position. The positions of the second member  22  shown in  FIGS. 11(C) and 11(F)  include the center position. 
     In descriptions below, the positions of the second member  22  shown in  FIGS. 11(A), 11(D) , and  11 (G) are set to the second end position, the positions of the second member  22  shown in  FIGS. 11(B), 11(E) , and  11 (H) are set to the first end position, and the positions of the second member  22  shown in  FIGS. 11(C) and 11(F)  are set to the center position. 
     Moreover, when the substrate P is positioned at the positions d 1 , d 3 , and d 5  shown in  FIG. 10 , the second member  22  may be disposed at the center position and may be disposed at between of the second end position and the center position. Additionally, when the substrate P is positioned at the positions d 2 , d 4 , and d 6 , the second member  22  may be disposed at the center position and may be disposed at between of the first end position and the center position. Moreover, when the substrate P is positioned at the positions d 2 . 5  and d 4 . 5 , the second member  22  may be disposed at the positions different from the center position. That is, when the substrate P is positioned at the positions d 2 . 5  and d 4 . 5 , the second member  22  may be disposed between the first end position and the center position or between the second end position and the center position. 
     When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 1 , the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction so as to be changed from the state shown in  FIG. 11(A)  to the state shown in  FIG. 11(B) . That is, the second member  22  moves from the second end position to the first end position via the center position. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 2 , the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction so as to be changed from the state shown in  FIG. 11(B)  to the state shown in  FIG. 11(D)  via the state shown in  FIG. 11(C) . That is, the second member  22  moves from the first end position to the second end position via the center position. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 3 , the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction so as to be changed from the state shown in  FIG. 11(D)  to the state shown in  FIG. 11(E) . That is, the second member  22  moves from the second end position to the first end position via the center position. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 4 , the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction so as to be changed from the state shown in  FIG. 11(E)  to the state shown in  FIG. 11(G)  via the state shown in  FIG. 11(F) . That is, the second member  22  moves from the first end position to the second end position via the center position. When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 5 , the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction so as to be changed from the state shown in  FIG. 11(G)  to the state shown in  FIG. 11(H) . That is, the second member  22  moves from the second end position to the first end position via the center position. 
     That is, in the present embodiment, the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction so that the relative movement between the second member and the substrate P is decreased in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P moves along the pathway Tp 2 . In other words, the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction so that the relative speed between the second member and the substrate P with respect to the X axis direction is decreased in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P performs the step movement operation which includes the component in the +X axis direction. Similarly, the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction so that the relative speed between the second member and the substrate P with respect to the X axis direction is decreased in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P moves along the pathway Tp 4 . 
     In addition, in the present embodiment, the second member  22  moves in the −X axis direction in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P moves along the pathway Tp 3 . Thereby, after the movement of the substrate P on the pathway Tp 3 , in the movement of the pathway Tp 4 , even when the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction, the exposure light EL is able to pass through the opening  35 . Also in the case where the substrate P moves the pathways Tp 1  and Tp 5 , the exposure light is able to pass through the opening. 
     That is, when the substrate P repeats the scan movement operation and the step movement operation including the component in the +X axis direction, during the step movement operation, the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction from the first end position to the second end position so that the relative speed between the second member and the substrate P is decreased, and during the scan movement operation, the second member  22  returns from the second end position to the first end position so that the second member  22  moves in the +X axis direction again in the next step movement operation. That is, since the second member  22  moves in −X axis direction in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P performs the vertical scan movement operation, the size of the opening  35  can be suppressed to the required minimum. 
     Moreover, in the embodiment, even when the second member  22  is disposed at the first end position (second end position), at least a portion of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) continuously faces the substrate P (object). In other words, in the state where the second member  22  is disposed at the first end position (second end position), a portion of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) faces the second member  22 , and a portion of the recovery part  23  (lower surface  39 ) does not face the second member  22 . Thereby, for example, in the step movement operation, the recovery part  23  is able to recover the liquid LQ on the substrate P (object). 
     Furthermore, in the present embodiment, before the substrate P starts the step movement operation including the component in the +X axis direction, the second member  22  starts the movement from the first end position to the second end position. That is, before the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2  (Tp 4 ), the second member  22  starts the movement in the +X axis direction. Moreover, at the same time as the substrate P starts the step movement operation including the component in the +X axis direction, the second member  22  may start the movement from the first end position to the second end position. In other words, at the same time as the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2  (Tp 4 ), the second member  22  may start the movement in the +X axis direction. Alternatively, after the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2  (Tp 4 ), the second member  22  may start the movement in the +X axis direction. 
     Furthermore, in the present embodiment, at the same time as the substrate P starts the scan movement operation, the second member  22  starts the movement from the second end position to the first end position. In other words, at the same time as the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 1  (Tp 3  and Tp 5 ), the second member  22  starts the movement in the axis direction, which is the direction reverse to the direction (+X axis direction) of the step movement of the substrate P. Moreover, after the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 1  (Tp 3  and Tp 5 ), the second member  22  may start the movement in the −X axis direction. Alternatively, before the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 1  (Tp 3  and Tp 5 ), the second member  22  may start the movement in the −X axis direction. 
       FIG. 12  is a view showing an example of a relationship between the speed of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) and the speed of the second member  22 , and time with respect to the X axis direction in the present embodiment. In the graph shown in  FIG. 12 , the horizontal axis represents the time, and the vertical axis represents the speed. In  FIG. 12 , a line LP indicates the speed of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ), and a line L 22  indicates the speed of the second member  22 . 
     In  FIG. 12 , periods T 1 , T 3 , and T 5  are periods in which the scan movement operation is performed. That is, the period T 1  corresponds to the movement period of the substrate P from the position d 1  to the position d 2  in  FIG. 10 . The period T 3  corresponds to the movement period of the substrate P from the position d 3  to the position d 4  in  FIG. 10 . The period T 5  corresponds to the movement period of the substrate P from the position d 5  to the position d 6  in  FIG. 10 . Furthermore, periods T 2  and T 4  are periods in which the step movement operation is performed. That is, the period T 2  corresponds to the movement period of the substrate P from the position d 2  to the position d 3  in  FIG. 10 . The period T 4  corresponds to the movement period of the substrate P from the position d 4  to the position d 5  in  FIG. 10 . In  FIG. 12 , as shown in portions B 2  and B 4 , in the present embodiment, before the substrate P starts the movement in pathways Tp 2  and Tp 4  (before the substrate P starts the step movement operation including the component in the +X axis direction), the second member  22  starts the movement in the +X axis direction. 
       FIG. 13  shows an example of a state where the second member  22  starts the movement in the +X axis direction before the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2  (Tp 4 ).  FIG. 13(A)  shows an example of the state before the second member  22  starts the movement, and  FIG. 13(B)  shows an example of the state immediately after the second member  22  starts the movement. That is,  FIG. 13(A)  shows an example of the state in the scan movement operation. 
     In  FIG. 13(A) , the first interface LG 1  of the liquid LQ is formed between the first member  21  (porous member  38 ) and the substrate P (object). The recovery part  23  is able to recover the liquid LQ from the first space SP 1  and the liquid LQ from the second space SP 2 . That is, in the present embodiment, the recovery part  23  is able to recover the liquid LQ from the first space SP 1  and the liquid LQ from the second space SP 2  in at least a portion of the scan movement operation. Moreover, in  FIG. 13(A) , a portion of the recovery part  23  and the second member  22  faces each other, and a portion of the recovery part  23  is arranged outside of the second member  22  (lower surface  26 ) with respect to the optical path K (optical axis AX). However, the entire recovery part  23  may be arranged outside of the second member  22  (lower surface  26 ) with respect to the optical path K (optical axis AX). That is, at least in a part of the scan movement operation, the recovery part  23  may be disposed so as not to face the upper surface  23  of the second member  22 . 
     Furthermore, at least in a part of the scan movement operation, there is a possibility that the recovery part  23  does not contact the liquid LQ from the first space SP 1 . For example, in  FIG. 13(A) , there is a possibility that an interface of the liquid LQ is formed between the lower surface  24  of the first member  21  and the upper surface  25  of the second member  22 . In this case, the liquid LQ from the first space SP 1  is not recovered from the recovery part  23  and the liquid LQ from the second space SP 2  is recovered exclusively. 
     As shown in  FIG. 13(B) , since the second member  22  starts the movement in the +X axis direction before the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2  (Tp 4 ), the interface LG 1   a  of the liquid LQ is formed between the first member  21  and the second member  22 , and the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ is formed between the second member  22  and the substrate P (object). Thereby, even when the substrate P moves in the +X axis direction, an outflow of the liquid LQ is suppressed. In the state shown in  FIG. 13(B) , the liquid LQ exclusive from the first space SP 1  is recovered from the recovery part  23 , and the recovery of the liquid LQ from the second space SP 2  is suppressed from the recovery part  23 . Moreover, in  FIG. 13(B) , a portion of the recovery part  23  and the second member  22  are opposite to each other, and a portion of the recovery part  23  is disposed outside the second member  22  (lower surface  26 ) with respect to the optical path K (optical axis AX). That is, in a state shown in  FIG. 13(B) , a portion of the recovery part  23  is facing the upper surface  25  of the second member  22 . Moreover, before the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2  (Tp 4 ), entire of the recovery part  23  may face the upper surface  25  of the second member  22 . 
     Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 12 , in the present embodiment, the speed of the second member  22  with respect to the X axis direction in the step movement operation is lower than the speed of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). Moreover, the speed of the second member  22  may be the same as the speed of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) and may be higher than the speed of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). That is, the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) may have higher speed and lower speed than the second member  22 , and may have the same speed as the second member  22 . 
     Furthermore, in  FIG. 12 , in the present embodiment, the acceleration of the second member with respect to the X axis direction in the step movement operation is lower than the acceleration of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). Moreover, the acceleration of the second member  22  may be the same as the acceleration of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) and may be higher than the acceleration of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). 
     Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the movement distance of the second member  22  with respect to the X axis direction during the step movement operation period is shorter than the movement distance of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  in the step movement operation may be 45 to 65% of the movement distance of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  may be any of 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, and 65% of the movement distance of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). In the present embodiment, the movement distance of the second member  22  in the step movement operation is the distance between the first end position and the second end position. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the movement distance of the second member  22  with respect to the X axis direction during the step movement operation period is shorter than a distance (distance A) between the center of a predetermined shot region S and the center of the shot region S adjacent in the X axis direction with respect to the short region S. For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  in the step movement operation may be 45 to 65% of the distance A. For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  in the step movement operation may be any of 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, and 65% of the distance A. Moreover, the movement distance of the second member  22  with respect to the X axis direction in the step movement operation period is shorter than the size (size B) of one shot region S with respect to the X axis direction. For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  in the step movement operation may be 45 to 65% of the size B. For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  in the step movement operation may be any of 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, and 65% of the size B. For example, when the size (size B) of the shot region S with respect to the X axis direction is 26 mm, the movement distance of the second member  22  may be approximately 14 mm. 
     For example, the movement distance of the second member  22  may be determined based on the surface conditions of the substrate P. The surface conditions of the substrate P include a contact angle (a receding contact angle or the like) of the liquid LQ on the surface of a photosensitive film which forms the surface of the substrate P. Moreover, the surface conditions of the substrate P include a contact angle (a receding contact angle or the like) of the liquid LQ on the surface of a protective film (top coat film) which forms the surface of the substrate P. Furthermore, for example, the surface of the substrate P may be formed by an antireflection film. Moreover, the movement distance of the second member  22  is obtained by preliminary experiments or simulation so that the outflow (residue) of the liquid LQ in the step movement operation is suppressed. 
     Furthermore, the movement distance of the second member  22  may be the same as the movement distance of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ) and larger than the movement distance of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, a distance Wfx (refer to  FIG. 7 ) between the −X axis side end of the opening  35  and the −X axis side end of the second member  22  is equal to or more than the movement distance of the second member  22  with respect to the X axis direction in the step movement operation. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the distance Wfx between the −X axis side end of the opening  35  and the −X axis side end of the second member  22  is the same as the distance between the +X axis side end of the opening  35  and the +X axis side end of the second member  22 . Moreover, the distance Wfx may be smaller than the movement distance of the second member  22  with respect to the X axis direction in the step movement operation. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the distance Wfx is determined so that the condition of the above-described expression (1) is satisfied. 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, a distance Wfy (refer to  FIG. 7 ) between the −Y axis side end of the opening  35  and the −Y axis side end of the second member  22  is equal to or more than the size of one shot region S with respect to the Y axis direction. For example, when the size of the shot region S with respect to the Y axis direction is 33 mm, the distance Wfy is 33 mm or more. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the distance Wfy between the −Y axis side end of the opening  35  and the −Y axis side end of the second member  22  is the same as the distance between the +Y axis side end of the opening  35  and the +Y axis side end of the second member  22 . Moreover, in the present embodiment, the distance Wfy is determined so that the condition of the above-described expression (2) is satisfied. 
     Furthermore, with respect to the Y axis direction, the distance Yp between the center of the opening  35  and the outside end of the second member  22  may be equal to or more than the size of one shot region S with respect to the Y axis direction. 
     As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the second member  22 , which is capable to move under the first member  21 , is provided, even when the object such as the substrate P or the like moves in the XY plane in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, for example, the liquid LQ is suppressed from flowing out from the space between the liquid immersion member  5  and the object or from remaining on the object. Moreover, bubbles (gas) are suppressed from being generated in the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS. 
     Furthermore, since the second member  22  moves so that the relative movement (relative speed, relative acceleration) between the second member and the substrate P (object) is decreased, even when the object moves at high speed in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the liquid LQ is suppressed from flowing out or from remaining on the substrate P (object), or bubbles are suppressed from being generated in the liquid LQ. 
     Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of exposure failure and the occurrence of a defective device. 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the first member  21  is disposed at at least a portion of a surrounding of the terminal optical element  13 , even when the object moves or the second member  22  moves in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, a change of pressure between the terminal optical element  13  and the first member  21  or a large change of the shape of the first interface LG 1  of the liquid LQ is suppressed. Therefore, for example, bubbles are suppressed from being generated in the liquid LQ, or an excessive force is suppressed from being applied to the terminal optical element  13 . Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the first member  21  does not substantially move, a large change of the pressure between the terminal optical element  13  and the first member  21  or a large change of the shape of the second interface LG 2  of the liquid LQ is suppressed. 
     Furthermore, the first member  21  may be configured to be movable. Moreover, the first member  21  may be movable with respect to the terminal optical element  13 . The first member  21  may be movable in at least one direction of six directions of the X axis, Y axis, Z axis, θX, θY, and θZ axis directions. For example, in order to adjust the positional relationship between the terminal optical element  13  and the first member  21  or the positional relationship between the first member  21  and the second member  22 , the first member  21  may be movable. Moreover, the first member  21  may be movable in parallel with at least part of the movement of the substrate P (object). For example, the first member may be movable by a distance shorter than the second member  22  in the XY plane. Moreover, the first member  21  may be movable at a speed lower than the second member  22 . Furthermore, the first member  21  may be movable at an acceleration lower than the second member  22 . 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  may be adjusted based on the movement conditions of the second member  22 . Furthermore, the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  may be adjusted based on the position of the second member  22 . For example, the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  when the second member  22  is disposed at at least one of the first end position and the second end position may be adjusted so as to be larger than the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  when the second member  22  is disposed at the center position. Moreover, when the second member  22  moves from the second end position to the first end position, the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  which are disposed at the +X axis side with respect to the optical path K may be adjusted so as to be larger than the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  which are disposed at the −X axis side. Furthermore, when the second member  22  moves from the first end position to the second end position, the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  which are disposed at the −X axis side with respect to the optical path K may be adjusted so as to be larger than the supply amount of the liquid from the supply ports  33  which are disposed at the +X axis side. Thereby, bubbles are suppressed from being generated in the liquid LQ. 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, the first member  21  includes holes  32  which are formed so as to connect the inner surface  30  and the lower surface  24  of the first member  21 . Thereby, as shown in  FIG. 14 , at least a portion of the liquid LQ between the side surface  29  of the terminal optical element  13  and the inner surface  30  of the first member  21  may flow to the upper surface  25  of the second member  22  via the holes  32 . That is, the liquid LQ of the third space SP 3  may flow to the second space SP 2  via the holes  32 . Thereby, the liquid LQ of the third space SP 3  between the side surface  29  and the inner surface  30  is suppressed from flowing out (overflowed) to the upper surface  31  or the like. Of course, by considering the shape or the like of the inner surface  30 , the liquid LQ of the third space SP 2  may be made not to flow to the second space SP 3 . 
     Moreover, by providing channels different from the holes  32  in the first member  21 , the liquid LQ of the third space SP 3  may be made to flow to the upper surface  25  of the second member  22  via the channels. 
     Moreover, in the present embodiment, in order to suppress the residue of the liquid LQ due to the step movement operation of the substrate P, the second member  22  is moved in the step direction (X axis direction) during the step movement operation of the substrate P. However, in order to suppress the residue of the liquid LQ due to the scan movement operation of the substrate P, the second member  22  may be moved in the scan direction (Y axis direction) during the scan movement operation of the substrate P. 
     Second Embodiment 
     A second embodiment will be described. In descriptions below, the same reference numerals are used to the same or similar components as those of the first embodiment, and the descriptions thereof are simplified or omitted. 
       FIG. 15  shows a view showing an example of a liquid immersion member  5 B according to the present embodiment. In the first embodiment, the lower surface  24  and the lower surface  39  of the recovery part  23  (porous member  38 ) are disposed at the same surface. However, the lower surface  24  and the lower surface  39  may form an angle. For example, as shown in  FIG. 15 , at least a portion of the lower surface  39  of the recovery part  23  (porous member  38 ) may be inclined upward toward the outside with respect to the radial direction to the optical path K. Since the lower surface  39  is inclined as in  FIG. 15 , for example, even when the substrate P (object) moves in the XY plane, the outflow of the liquid LQ from between the first member  21  and the substrate P (object) is suppressed. 
     Moreover, when the lower surface  24  and the lower surface  39  are provided so as to be approximately parallel to the XY plane, the heights (positions in the Z axis direction) of the lower surface  24  and the lower surface  39  may be different from each other. 
     Third Embodiment 
     A third embodiment will be described. In descriptions below, the same reference numerals are used to the same or similar components as those of the above-described embodiments, and the descriptions thereof are simplified or omitted. 
     As shown in  FIG. 16 , the exposure apparatus EX of the present embodiment includes at least one recovery member  41  which is disposed at at least a portion of a surrounding of the first member  21  and is to recover the liquid LQ flowing out from the lower surface  24  (lower surface  39 ) side. The recovery member  41  includes a porous member  42  which the substrate P (object) is able to face and a support member  44  which forms a space (recovery channel)  43  between the support member and the porous member  42 . The support member  44  supports the porous member  42 . The recovery channel  43  is connected to the liquid recovery apparatus (not shown) which includes a vacuum system. According to the operation of the liquid recovery apparatus, the liquid LQ on the substrate P (object) which contacts the lower surface of the porous member  42  flows into the recovery channel  43  via holes of the porous member  42  and is recovered to the liquid recovery apparatus. The holes of the porous member  42  function as recovery ports of the recovery member  41 . 
     The recovery member  41  may be an annular member which surrounds the first member  21 .  FIG. 16  shows the recovery member  41  which is arranged at the −Y axis side with respect to the first member  21 . 
     In the present embodiment, the recovery member  41  is moved by a driving system  45 . The recovery member  41  is disposed at above the substrate P (object). The driving member  45  moves the recovery member  41  at the upper portion of the substrate P (object). The driving system  45  moves the recovery member  41  so that the recovery member  41  and the substrate P (object) do not contact each other. Moreover, the driving system  45  moves the recovery member  41  so that the recovery member  41 , and the first member  21  and the second member  22  do not contact each other. 
     The driving system  45  is able to move the recovery member  41  in the up-down direction (Z axis direction). That is, the driving member  45  is able to move the recovery member  41  so that the recovery member  41  and the substrate P (object) approach each other. Moreover, the driving system  45  is able to move the recovery member  41  so that the recovery member  41  and the substrate P (object) are away from each other. Furthermore, the driving system  45  may move the recovery member  41  in at least one direction of the X axis, Y axis, Z axis, θX, θY, and θZ axis directions. 
     The driving system  45  moves the recovery member  41  in the up-down direction based on the movement conditions of the substrate P (object). 
     As shown in  FIG. 16(A) , for example, when the substrate P (object) moves in the −Y axis direction in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, the driving system  45  moves the recovery member  41  in the −Z axis direction so that the recovery member  41  (porous member  42 ) and the substrate P (object) approach each other. If the substrate P (object) moves in the −Y axis direction in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed, there is a possibility that the liquid LQ of the liquid immersion space LS flows out to the −Y axis side of the first member  21 . Since the recovery member  41  is moved so as to approach the substrate P (object) at the −Y axis side of the first member  21 , the flowed-out liquid LQ is able to be recovered by the recovery member  41 . 
     Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 16(B) , when the recovery member  41  is not used, the driving system  45  is able to move the recovery member  41  so as to be away from the substrate P (object). Furthermore, for example, when the recovery member  41  is not used includes a case where the substrate P (object) moves in the movement condition in which the liquid LQ does not flow out (the outflow of the liquid LQ is suppressed). 
     Moreover, the recovery member  41  may not be connected to the liquid recovery apparatus. 
     Moreover, the third embodiment is able to be applied to the exposure apparatus EX which includes the liquid immersion member  5 B of the second embodiment. 
     Furthermore, in each embodiment described above, a liquid recovery part which is able to recover at least a portion of the liquid LQ of the first space SP 1  may be provided at inside (at the optical path K side) than the recovery part  23 . 
     Fourth Embodiment 
     A fourth embodiment will be described. In descriptions below, the same reference numerals are used to the same or similar components as those of the above-described embodiments, and the descriptions thereof are simplified or omitted. 
       FIG. 17  shows an example of a liquid immersion member  5 D according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the liquid immersion member  5 D includes a second member  122 . The second member  122  includes an opening  135  through which the exposure light EL passes and a lower surface  126  which the substrate P (object) faces. Moreover, the second member  122  includes a recovery part  46  which is disposed at the lower surface  126  and is able to recover the liquid LQ. The recovery part  46  includes recovery ports  47  which are disposed at the lower surface  126  and is able to connect to the vacuum system. 
     In the present embodiment, a liquid recovery force of the recovery part  46  of the second member  122  is smaller than the liquid recovery force of the recovery part  23  of the first member  21 . The recovery part  46  recovers the liquid LQ by the liquid recovery force which is smaller than the liquid recovery force of the recovery part  23  so as not to generate gas in the optical path K. The liquid recovery force includes the liquid recovery amount per unit time. 
     In the present embodiment, the recovery part  46  is disposed at both sides of the optical path K of the exposure light EL with respect to the X axis direction. The recovery part  46  includes a recovery part  46 A which is disposed at the +X axis side with respect to the optical path K and a recovery part  46 B which is disposed at the −X axis side. In the present embodiment, the recovery part  46 A includes seven recovery ports  47  which are disposed at the Y axis direction at the +X axis side with respect to the optical path K. The recovery part  46 B includes seven recovery ports  47  which are disposed at the Y axis direction at the −X axis side with respect to the optical path K. The number of the recovery ports  47  is not limited to seven, and any plural number may be applied. Furthermore, slit shaped recovery ports may be provided along the recovery part ( 46 A and  46 B). 
     In the present embodiment, the controller  6  controls the recovery operation of the recovery part  46  based on the movement condition of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). The controller  6  performs the recovery operation of the recovery part  46  in synchronization with at least one of the scan movement operation and the step movement operation of the substrate P (substrate stage  2 ). 
     In the present embodiment, the recovery part  46  recovers the liquid LQ between the second member  122  and the substrate P in at least a period of the scan movement operation period in which the exposure light EL is radiated to the shot region S. Moreover, the recovery part  46  does not recover the liquid LQ when the step movement operation is performed in which the substrate P moves from the exposure end position of the shot region S to the exposure start position of the next shot region S. 
     In the present embodiment, an opening and closing mechanism may be disposed at each of the plurality of recovery ports  47 . The controller  6  opens the recovery ports  47  when the liquid LQ is recovered by the recovery part  46 . Moreover, the controller  6  closes the recovery ports  47  when the liquid LQ is not recovered by the recovery part  46 . Furthermore, the suction operations of the recovery ports  47  may be controlled by opening and closing the channels between the recovery ports  47  and the vacuum system. 
     In the scan movement operation, the liquid LQ between the second member  122  and the substrate P is recovered from the recovery part  46 , and thus, the liquid immersion space LS between the second member  122  and the substrate P is suppressed from being enlarged. That is, since the liquid LQ is recovered from the recovery part  46  in the scan movement operation, in the X axis direction, the step movement operation in the X axis direction after the scan movement operation is able to start in a state where the interface of the liquid LQ between the second member  122  and the substrate P is close to the optical axis of the final optical member  13 . Therefore, the liquid LQ being discharged outside the space between the first member  21  and the substrate P, due to the movement of the substrate P in the X axis direction during the step movement operation of the substrate P, can be suppressed. 
     Moreover, since the liquid LQ is not recovered from the recovery part  46  in the step movement operation, the liquid LQ between the lower surface  126  of the second member  122  and the upper surface of the substrate P (object) is suppressed from being a thin film on the substrate P by moving away from the lower surface  126  of the second member  122  during the step movement operation. Therefore, the liquid LQ is suppressed from remaining on the substrate P. 
     Moreover, during the step movement operation, both the liquid recovery from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 A and the liquid recovery from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 B may not be stopped. For example, during the step movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the +X axis direction, the liquid suction from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 B may not be stopped, and the liquid suction from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 A may be stopped. Moreover, during the step movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the −X axis direction, the liquid suction from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 A may not be stopped, and the liquid suction from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 B may be stopped. 
     Furthermore, during the step movement operation, the liquid recovery from the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46  ( 46 A and  46 B) may not be stopped. For example, suction forces of the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46  ( 46 A and  46 B) during the step movement operation may be made weaker than suction forces of recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46  ( 46 A and  46 B during the scan movement operation. Moreover, during the step operation movement, the suction forces of the recovery ports  47  of any one of the recovery part  46 A and the recovery part  46 B may be made weaker. For example, during the step movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the +X axis direction, the suction forces of the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 A may be made weaker, and during the step movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the −X axis direction, the suction forces of the recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 B may be made weaker. 
     Furthermore, in the example shown in  FIG. 17 , the lines, which connect the plurality of recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 A ( 46 B), are a curved line. As shown in  FIG. 18 , the lines which connect the plurality of recovery ports  47  of the recovery part  46 A ( 46 B) may be a straight line parallel to the Y axis. 
     Moreover, similar to each of the above-described embodiments, in the present embodiment, the second member  122  may move in parallel with at least a portion of the movement of the substrate P. However, the second member may not be movable. In that case, the driving mechanism  27  or the like may be omitted. 
     Fifth Embodiment 
     A fifth embodiment will be described. In descriptions below, the same reference numerals are used to the same or similar components as those of the above-described embodiments, and the descriptions thereof are simplified or omitted. 
       FIG. 19  is a view showing an example of a liquid immersion member  5 E according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the liquid immersion member  5 E includes the first member  21  which has the recovery part  23 , and a second member  220  in which at least a portion is able to move with respect to the first member  21 . 
     In the present embodiment, the second member  220  includes a first portion  221  having an opening  235  through which the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is able to pass, a second portion  222  which is disposed at the +X axis side of the first portion  221  and is able to move with respect to the first portion  221 , and a third portion  223  which is disposed at the −X axis side of the first portion  222  and is able to move with respect to the first portion  221 . 
     In the present embodiment, the first portion  221  does not substantially move. The second portion  222  is able to move in the X axis direction in the space at the +X axis side of the first portion  221 . The third portion  223  is able to move in the X axis direction in the space at the −X axis side of the first portion  221 . 
     The upper surface of the second portion  222  is able to face the recovery part  23  of the first member  21 . The second portion  222  is able to move in the X axis direction in the state where the recovery part  23  faces the second portion. The third portion  223  is able to face the recovery part  23 . The third portion  223  is able to move in the X axis direction in the state where the recovery part  23  faces the third portion. 
     For example, as shown in  FIG. 19(B) , the edge of the +X axis side of the first portion  221  and the edge of the −X axis side of the second portion  222  which faces the edge of the +X axis side of the first portion  221  is able to approach or contact each other. Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 19(B) , the edge of the −X axis side of the first portion  221  and the edge of the +X axis side of the third portion  223  which faces the edge of the −X axis side of the first portion  221  is able to approach or contact each other. 
     Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 19(A) , the second portion  222  is able to be away from the first portion  221  in the +X axis direction. In the state where the first portion  221  and the second portion  222  are away from each other, the recovery part  23  of the first member  21  is disposed at above of a gap Ga between the first portion  221  and the second portion  222 . The recovery part  23  at above of the gap Ga is able to face the substrate P (object). Moreover, in the state where the first portion  221  and the second portion  222  are away from each other, the recovery part  23  of the first member  21  is able to recover the liquid LQ on the substrate P (object) via the gap Ga between the first portion  221  and the second portion  222 . 
     Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 19(C) , the third portion  223  is able to be away from the first portion  221  in the −X axis direction. In the state where the first portion  221  and the third portion  223  are away from each other, the recovery part  23  is disposed at above of a gap Gb between the first portion  221  and the third portion  223 . The recovery part  23  at above of the gap Gb is able to face the substrate P (object). Moreover, in the state where the first portion  221  and the third portion  223  are away from each other, the recovery part  23  of the first member  21  is able to recover the liquid LQ on the substrate P (object) via the gap Gb between the first portion  221  and the third portion  223 . 
     The movement of the second member  220  of the present embodiment will be described referring to  FIG. 10 . In the present embodiment, the second member  220  becomes in the state shown in  FIG. 19(A)  in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 1 . When the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 2 , the second member  220  is changed from the state shown in  FIG. 19(A)  to the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) . When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 2 , the second member  220  becomes in the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) . The second member  220  becomes in the state shown in  FIG. 19(A)  in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 3 . When the substrate P starts the movement in the pathway Tp 4 , the second member  220  is changed from the state shown in  FIG. 19(A)  to the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) . When the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 4 , the second member  220  becomes in the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) . The second member  220  becomes in the state shown in  FIG. 19(A)  in at least a part of the period in which the substrate P moves the pathway Tp 5 . 
     That is, in the period of the scan movement operation, the second member  220  becomes in the state of  FIG. 19(A) , and in the period of the step movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the +X axis direction, the second member becomes in the state of  FIG. 19(B) . 
     As described above, for example, in the state shown in  FIG. 19(A) , the recovery part  23  of the first member  21  faces the substrate P, and the liquid LQ of the substrate P is recovered via the gap Ga. Therefore, the liquid LQ is not substantially present in the lower surface side of the second portion  222 , and the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ between the second member  220  and the substrate P is positioned near the +X axis side edge  221 Ea of the first portion  221 . Moreover, even immediately after it is changed from the state shown in  FIG. 19(A)  to the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) , the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ between the second member  220  and the substrate P is positioned near the +X axis side edge  221 Ea of the first portion  221 . 
     Thereby, for example, as shown  FIG. 20 , when the first portion  221  and the second portion  222  approach or contact each other and the step movement operation of the substrate P in the +X axis direction starts, the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ is formed near the edge  221 Ea of the first portion  221 , and the liquid LQ is not substantially present in the lower surface side of the second portion  222 . That is, in the state where the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ is close to the optical axis AX of the terminal optical element  13  with respect to the X axis direction, the stepping operation of the substrate P in the +X axis direction starts. Therefore, even when the substrate P (object) performs the stepping movement operation in the +X axis direction, the outflow of the liquid LQ from between the second member  220  and the substrate P (object) is suppressed, and the liquid LQ is suppressed from being discharged outside the space between the first member  21  and the substrate P. 
     Moreover, during the stepping movement operation, since the first portion  221  and the second member  222  approach or contact each other and the liquid LQ is not recovered from the recovery part  23  via the gap Ga, the liquid LQ between the lower surface of the second member  220  and the substrate P is away from the lower surface of the second member  220 , and the liquid is suppressed from being a thin film on the substrate P. Therefore, the liquid LQ is suppressed from remaining on the substrate P. 
     Furthermore, during the stepping movement operation, even when the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ between the second member  220  and the substrate P is formed between the second portion  222  and the substrate P, during at least a part of the period of the subsequent scan movement operation the first portion  221  and the second portion  222  are away from each other as shown in  FIG. 19(A) , and the liquid LQ of the space below the gap Ga, which is between the space below the second portion  222  and the first portion  221  and the second portion  222 , is recovered via the gap Ga from the recovery part  23  of the first member  21 . Thus, the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ on the substrate P is able to be returned to the vicinity of the edge  221 Ea of the first portion  221 . 
     In the above, when the substrate P (object) moves the pathway shown in  FIG. 10  (pathway on which the substrate P performs the step movement operation in the +X axis direction), the case where the second portion  222  which is disposed at the +X axis side with respect to the first portion  221  moves is described as an example. When the substrate P (object) performs the step movement operation in the direction reverse to the pathway shown in  FIG. 10 , that is, when the substrate P (object) moves the pathway in which the substrate P (object) moves during the step movement operation in the −X axis direction, the third portion  223  which is disposed at the −X axis side with respect to the first portion  221  is moved in the −X axis direction as shown in  FIG. 19(C) . That is, in at least a portion of the scan movement period of the substrate P, the second member  220  becomes the state shown in  FIG. 19(C) . When the substrate P starts the stepping movement in the −X axis direction, the second member  220  is changed from the state shown in  FIG. 19(C)  to the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) . In at least a portion of the stepping movement period in the −X axis direction of the substrate P, the second member  220  becomes the state shown in  FIG. 19(B) . Similar to the case of  FIG. 19(A) , in the state shown in  FIG. 19(C) , the liquid LQ is not substantially present in the lower surface side of the third portion  223 , and the interface LG 1   b  of the liquid LQ is formed near a −X axis side edge  221 Eb of the first portion  221 . 
     Moreover, in the example shown in  FIG. 19 , the +X axis side edge and the −X axis side edge of the first portion  221 , the −X axis side edge of the second portion  222 , and the +X axis side edge of the third portion  223  are straight-line shapes. As shown in  FIG. 21 , these edges may be curved-line shapes. 
     Moreover, the first portion  221  may be movable. For example, in at least a part of the period of the stepping movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the +X axis direction, as shown in  FIG. 19(B) , the second member  220  ( 221 ,  222 , and  223 ) may move in the +X axis direction while the state where the first portion  221 , the second portion  222 , and the third portion  223  are not substantially away from one another is maintained. Similarly, in at least a part of the period of the stepping movement operation in which the substrate P moves in the −X axis direction, as shown in  FIG. 19(B) , the second member  220  ( 221 ,  222 , and  223 ) may move in the X axis direction while the state where the first portion  221 , the second portion  222 , and the third portion  223  are not substantially away from one another is maintained. 
     Furthermore, in the embodiments shown in  FIGS. 19 to 21 , the direction in which a portion ( 222  and  223 ) of the second member  220  gets away from the portion ( 221 ) having the opening  235  is not limited to the X axis direction. For example, in at least a part of the period of the stepping movement operation, a portion of the second member  220  may be get away from the portion ( 221 ) having the opening  235  in the Y axis direction. Also in this case, the portion ( 221 ) having the opening  235  may be movable and may not be movable. 
     Sixth Embodiment 
     A sixth embodiment will be described. In descriptions below, the same reference numerals are used to the same or similar components as those of the above-described embodiments, and the descriptions thereof are simplified or omitted. 
       FIG. 22  is a view when an example of a liquid immersion member  5 F according to the present embodiment is viewed from below. In the first to fifth embodiments described above, the outline of the second member ( 22  or the like) in the XY plane is an elliptical shape in which the size with respect to the X axis direction is larger than the size with respect to the Y axis direction. As shown in  FIG. 22 , the outline of the second member  322  in the XY plane may be circular. Moreover, the outline of the second member  322  may be a polygonal shape such as a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon, a hexagon, a heptagon, and an octagon. 
     Seventh Embodiment 
     A seventh embodiment will be described. In descriptions below, the same reference numerals are used to the same or similar components as those of the above-described embodiments, and the descriptions thereof are simplified or omitted. 
       FIG. 23  is a view showing an example of a liquid immersion member  5 G according to the present embodiment. As shown in  FIG. 23 , a first member  210  of the liquid immersion member  5 G includes a facing portion  211  which faces the emitting surface  12  of the terminal optical element  13 . The facing portion  211  includes an opening  34 G through which the exposure light EL from the emitting surface  12  is able to pass. The size of the opening  340  may be larger or smaller than, or equal to the size of the opening  35  of the second member  22 . 
     Moreover, in the first to seventh embodiments described above, the second member  22  is an annular member which surrounds the optical path K. However, the second member may be a member which is arranged at a portion of a surrounding of the optical path K. Furthermore, the plurality of second members  22  may be disposed at a surrounding of the optical path K. Moreover, the plurality of second members  22  may move independently. Furthermore, a portion of second members  22  of the plurality of second members  22  may move, and another portion of the second members  22  may not move. 
     Moreover, in the first to seventh embodiments described above, the first member  21  may include recovery ports which remove the liquid LQ of the space (for example, third space SP 3 ) above the first member  21 . 
     Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the controller  6  includes a computer system which includes a CPU or the like. Moreover, the controller  6  includes an interface which is able to perform communication with the computer system and an external apparatus. For example, the storage part  7  includes a memory such as a RAM, a hard disk, and a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. In the storage part  7 , an operating system (OS) which controls the computer system is installed and a program for controlling the exposure apparatus EX is stored. 
     Moreover, an input apparatus which is able to input signals is connected to the controller  6 . The input apparatus includes input equipment such as a keyboard or a mouse or a communication apparatus or the like which is able to input data from the external apparatus. Moreover, a display apparatus such as a liquid crystal display may be provided. 
     The controller (computer system)  6  is able to read various information which includes the programs which are recorded in the storage part  7 . Programs are recorded in the storage part  7 , and the programs make the controller  6  perform the control of the liquid immersion exposure apparatus which exposes the substrate by the exposure light via the liquid filled in the optical path of the exposure light between the emitting surface of the optical member to which the exposure light is emitted and the substrate. 
     According to the above-described embodiments, the programs which are recorded in the storage part  7  may make the controller  6  perform: forming the liquid immersion space so that the optical path of the exposure light emitted from the emitting surface of the optical member is filled with liquid; exposing the substrate by the exposure light emitted from the emitting surface via the liquid of the liquid immersion space; moving the second member which is disposed at at least a portion of a surrounding of the optical path below the first member and includes the second upper surface which faces the first lower surface via the gap and the second lower surface which the object is able to face, with respect to the first member which is disposed at at least a portion of a surrounding of the optical member and includes the first lower surface and the first recovery part disposed outside the first lower surface with respect to the optical path; and recovering at least a portion of the liquid of at least one of the first space which the second upper surface faces and the second space which the second lower surface faces, from the first recovery part. 
     The programs which are stored in the storage part  7  are read by the controller  6 , and thus, various apparatuses of the exposure apparatus EX such as the substrate stage  2 , the measurement stage  3 , and the liquid immersion member  5  cooperate with one another and perform various processing such as the liquid immersion exposure of the substrate P in the state where the liquid immersion space LS is formed. 
     Moreover, in each embodiment described above, the optical path K of the emitting surface  12  side (image surface side) of the terminal optical element  13  of the projection optical system PL is filled with the liquid LQ. However, for example, the projection optical system PL may be the projection optical system in which the optical path of the incident side (object surface side) of the terminal optical element  13  is also filled with the liquid LQ as disclosed in PCT International Publication No. WO 2004/019128. 
     Furthermore, in each embodiment described above, the liquid LQ is water. However, the liquid may be liquid other than the water. It is preferable that the liquid LQ be transparent with respect to the exposure light EL, have high refractive index with respect to the exposure light EL, and be stable with respect to the projection optical system PL or the film of a photosensitive material (photoresist) which forms the surface of the substrate P or the like. For example, the liquid LQ may be fluorinated liquid such as hydrofluoroether (HFE), perfluorinated polyether (PFPE), and Fomblin® oil. Moreover, the liquid LQ may be various fluids, for example, supercritical liquid. 
     Furthermore, in each embodiment described above, the substrate P includes a semiconductor wafer for manufacturing a semiconductor device. However, for example, the substrate may include a glass substrate for a display device, a ceramic wafer for a thin film magnetic head, a mask or an original plate (synthetic quartz and silicon wafer) of a reticle which is used in an exposure apparatus, or the like. 
     Moreover, in each embodiment described above, the exposure apparatus EX is a scanning type exposure apparatus (scanning stepper) of a step-and-scan system in which the mask M and the substrate P synchronously move and the patterns of the mask M are scanned and exposed. However, for example, the exposure apparatus may be a projection exposure apparatus (stepper) of a step-and-repeat system in which patterns of the mask M are collectively exposed in a state where the mask M and the substrate P are stationary and the substrate P is sequentially step-moved. 
     Furthermore, the exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus (a collective exposure apparatus of a stitch system) in which, in the exposure of a step-and-repeat system, after the reduced image of a first pattern is transferred on the substrate P using the projection optical system in a state where a first pattern and the substrate P are substantially stationary, the reduced image of a second pattern is partially overlapped with the first pattern using the projection optical system and is collectively exposed on the substrate P in a state where the second pattern and the substrate P are substantially stationary. Moreover, the exposure apparatus of the stitch system may be an exposure apparatus of a step-and-stitch system in which at least two patterns are partially overlapped on the substrate P and transferred thereto, and the substrate P is sequentially moved. 
     Furthermore, for example, the exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus in which patterns of two masks are combined on the substrate via, the projection optical system and one shot region on the substrate is approximately simultaneously double-exposed by single scanning exposure, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,611,316. Moreover, the exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus of a proximity system, a mirror projection aligner, or the like. 
     Furthermore, in each embodiment described above, the exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus of a twin stage type which includes a plurality of substrate stages, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,341,007, 6,208,407, 6,262,796, or the like. For example, as shown in  FIG. 24 , when the exposure apparatus EX includes two substrate stages  2001  and  2002 , the object which is able to be arranged so as to face the emitting surface  12  includes at least one of one substrate stage, a substrate which is held by a first holding portion of the one substrate stage, another substrate stage, and a substrate which is held by a first holding portion of the another substrate stage. 
     Moreover, the exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus which includes the plurality of substrate stages and measurement stages. 
     The exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor element which exposes a semiconductor element pattern on the substrate P, an exposure apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element or a display, or an exposure apparatus for manufacturing a thin film magnetic head, an imaging element (CCD), a micromachine, a MEMS, a DNA chip, or a reticle or mask, or the like. 
     Moreover, in each embodiment described above, the light transmission type mask is used in which a predetermined light shielding pattern (or a phase pattern, a dimming pattern) is formed on the substrate having light transparency. However, instead of this mask, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,778,257, a variable molding mask (also referred to as an electronic mask, an active mask, or an image generator) may be used which forms a transparent pattern, a reflective pattern, or a light-emitting pattern based on electronic data of the pattern to be exposed. Moreover, instead of the variable molding masks which include a non-light emission type image display element, a pattern-forming apparatus which includes a self light-emission type image display element may be provided. 
     Furthermore, in each embodiment described above, the exposure apparatus EX includes the projection optical system PL. However, the components explained in each embodiment described above may be applied to an exposure apparatus and an exposing method which do not use the projection optical system PL. For example, the components explained in each embodiment described above may be applied to an exposure apparatus and an exposing method in which the liquid immersion space is formed between an optical member such as a lens and the substrate and the exposure light is radiated to the substrate via the optical member. 
     Moreover, for example, the exposure apparatus EX may be an exposure apparatus (a lithography system) in which interference fringes are formed on the substrate P, and thus, a line-and-space pattern is exposed on the substrate P, as disclosed in PCT International Publication No. WO 2001/035168. 
     The exposure apparatuses EX of the above-described embodiments are manufactured by assembling various subsystems including each above-described component so as to maintain predetermined mechanical accuracy, electrical accuracy, and optical accuracy. In order to secure the various accuracies, before and after the assembly, adjustment for achieving optical accuracy with respect to various optical systems, adjustment for achieving mechanical accuracy with respect to various mechanical systems, and adjustment for achieving electrical accuracy with respect to various electrical systems are performed. The process of assembling the exposure apparatus from various subsystems includes mechanical connections, wiring connections of electric circuits, piping connections of air-pressure circuits, or the like between various subsystems. Of course, the respective assembly processes of each subsystem are needed before the assembly process from various subsystems to the exposure apparatus. After the assembly process of exposure apparatus by various subsystems is finished, a general adjustment is performed, and thus, various accuracies in the overall exposure apparatus are secured. Moreover, it is preferable that the manufacturing of the exposure apparatus be performed in a clean room in which temperature, a degree of cleanness, or the like is controlled. 
     As shown in  FIG. 25 , a micro-device such as a semiconductor device is manufactured through a step  201  in which the function and performance design of the micro-device is performed, a step  202  in which a mask (reticle) is manufactured based on the design step, a step  203  in which a substrate which is a base material of the device is manufactured, a substrate processing step  204  which includes the substrate processing (exposure processing) including exposing the substrate by the exposure light from the pattern of the mask according to the above-described embodiments and developing the exposed substrate, a device assembly step (which includes manufacturing processes such as a dicing process, a bonding process, and a package process)  205 , an inspection step  206 , or the like. 
     Moreover, the conditions of each embodiment described above may be appropriately combined. Furthermore, some components may not be used. Moreover, as long as legally permitted, the disclosures of all publications and United States Patents with respect to the exposure apparatuses or the like cited in the each of the above-mentioned embodiment and modifications are incorporated in the disclosures of the present application.
