Patent ID: 8896806

Claim:
An exposure apparatus that exposes a substrate, comprising: an optical system that includes an emission surface from which an exposure light is emitted; a first immersion member having a liquid supply port and a first surface that is disposed in at least a part of a surrounding of an optical path of the exposure light emitted from the emission surface; a second immersion member having a second surface that is disposed in at least a part of a surrounding of the first surface and at a position lower than the first surface, the second immersion member being movable relative to the first immersion member; a space portion into which a liquid can flow via a first aperture between the first surface and the second surface and which is opened to the atmosphere via a second aperture different from the first aperture; and a first recovery portion that recovers at least a part of the liquid flowing into the space portion, wherein the emission surface, the first surface, and the second surface are opposed to the surface of the substrate in at least a part of the exposure of the substrate, and the substrate is exposed with the exposure light from the emission surface via the liquid between the emission surface and the surface of the substrate.
