  • Patent number: 9063436
    Abstract: An exposure apparatus is provided with a projection optical system, and the projection optical system includes a first optical element disposed most closely to an image plane of the projection optical system. The exposure apparatus includes a first liquid immersion mechanism which forms a first liquid immersion area of a first liquid between the first optical element and an upper surface of a transparent member provided on a side of the image plane of the projection optical system, and an observation unit which observes a state of the first liquid immersion area. It is possible to grasp the state of the liquid immersion area of the liquid, thereby executing optimum liquid immersion exposure.

  • Publication number: 20080106718
    Abstract: An exposure apparatus emits exposure light onto a substrate (P) via a projection optical system (PL) to expose the substrate (P). The projection optical system (PL) includes a first optical element (LS1) closest to an image plane of the projection optical system (PL) and a second optical element (LS2) closest to the image plane next to the first optical element (LS1). The exposure apparatus is disposed alia position higher than a lower surface (T3) of the second optical element (LS2) and includes a second collection port (42) that recovers a second liquid (LQ2) held in a second space (K2) between an upper surface (T2) of the first optical element (LS1) and the lower surface (T3) of the second optical element (LS2).
