The communication section communicates with an external electronic apparatus. The controller generates, when the electronic book is displayed by the external electronic apparatus and the information item of the electronic book is designated, an electronic book unit by adding first metadata to the information item so that display processing of the associated information is executed on the external electronic apparatus, and controls the communication section to transmit the generated electronic book unit to the external electronic apparatus.

Abstract: This invention discloses a method to form a resist pattern on a to-be-processed substrate by immersion exposure. A resist film is formed on the central portion of the upper surface of the to-be-processed substrate, on a bevel portion of the upper surface, which is obtained by chamfering the peripheral portion of the to-be-processed substrate, and on the end portion of the to-be-processed substrate. Pattern exposure for forming the latent image of a desired pattern on the resist film is executed while a liquid whose refractive index is higher than that of air exists between the resist film and a constituent element of a projection optical system of an exposure apparatus, which is nearest to the to-be-processed substrate. The resist film formed on the end portion of the to-be-processed substrate is removed by supplying a rinse solution to the end portion of the to-be-processed substrate after executing pattern exposure.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a substrate coated with a resist film is carried into a first pressure adjustment mechanism. Then, a peripheral atmosphere of the substrate is decompressed from an atmospheric pressure by the first pressure adjustment mechanism to measure a physical quantity correlated with an outgassing amount from the substrate. Then, whether to subject the substrate to an EUV exposure is determined based on a measurement result of the physical quantity. If determined not to subject the substrate to the EUV exposure, the substrate is transported into a second pressure adjustment mechanism without the substrate being subjected to the EUV exposure. Then, the substrate is carried out of the second pressure adjustment mechanism.
