Abstract:
A first stage system having a first stage and a first drive system that moves the first stage is configured to hold a mask illuminated with illumination light. A second stage system having a second stage and a second drive system that moves the second stage is configured to hold a substrate. A measurement system having a first encoder system and a second encoder system measures positional information of the first and second stages, respectively. The second encoder system measures the positional information of the second stage with a plurality of heads that face a grating section. The first and second drive systems are controlled based on correction information for compensating for a measurement error of the second encoder system that occurs due to the heads and measurement information of the first and the second encoder systems.

Claim (Index 2):
The exposure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the controller controls the second drive system so that, in the exposure operation, exposure of a step-and-scan method is performed with respect to areas disposed in line in a second direction, of the plurality of areas on the substrate, and the substrate is moved from the other side to the one side in the first direction, in the exposure of the step-and-scan method the scanning exposure and movement of the substrate in the second direction being repeated, and the second direction being orthogonal to the first direction within the predetermined plane.
