Immersion lithography apparatus and exposure method

摘要

An immersion lithography apparatus includes: a projection optical system which projects a pattern of a mask onto a substrate; a substrate cleaning unit which cleans the substrate prior to projection of the pattern; a liquid supply mechanism which supplies the same liquid to an immersion region between the projection optical system and the substrate and to the substrate cleaning unit; a first liquid discharge path through which the liquid discharged from the immersion region is passed; and a second liquid discharge path through which the liquid discharged from the substrate cleaning unit is passed.
