Abstract:
A controller of an exposure apparatus is coupled to an alignment system, an aerial image measurement device and an encoder system, to control a drive system based on correction information and measurement information of the encoder system, the correction information compensating a measurement error of the encoder system that occurs due to a plurality of scale members. In an exposure operation of a substrate, a detection operation of a mark of the substrate and a fiducial mark, and a detection operation of an aerial image, the positional information of the stage is measured with the encoder system. In the exposure operation, the substrate is placed facing a lower surface of a nozzle member by a stage, and alignment between a pattern image and the substrate is performed based on detection information of the alignment system and the aerial image measurement device.

Claim (Index 4):
The exposure apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein\n the slit pattern is disposed on the other side in the first direction with respect to the holder on the upper surface of the second stage, and the controller controls the second drive system so that the second stage is moved from the one side to the other side in the first direction following detection of the image, in order to perform the scanning exposure from the area located on the one side in the first direction, of the plurality of areas on the substrate.
