Abstract:
An exposure apparatus that exposes a substrate by exposure light via liquid between an optical member and the substrate, the exposure apparatus includes: an apparatus frame, an optical system including the optical member, a liquid immersion member that is configured to form an immersion liquid space and that includes a first member disposed at at least a portion of surrounding of the optical member and a second member disposed at at least a portion of surrounding of the optical member, a driving apparatus configured to relatively move the second member with respect to the first member, and a vibration isolator by which the first member is supported to the apparatus frame.

Claim (Index 1):
An exposure apparatus comprising:\n an optical system including the optical member, a liquid immersion member that is configured to form an immersion liquid space and that includes a first member disposed at at least a portion of surrounding of the optical member and a second member disposed with a gap being formed between the first member and the second member, a driving apparatus configured to relatively move the second member with respect to the first member, an apparatus frame by which the first member is supported, and a vibration isolator disposed between the first member and the apparatus frame, wherein the second member is moved in a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical member such that a relative speed between the second member and the substrate, between which a portion of the liquid immersion space is formed, is decreased compared to a relative speed between the first member and the substrate, wherein the liquid immersion space covers a portion of a upper surface of the substrate, and wherein the substrate is exposed with exposure light via liquid in the liquid immersion space.
