An exposing apparatus for exposing the periphery portion of a substrate on which resist is uniformly applied while rotating the substrate by a rotating device around a substantially central portion of the substrate, comprising: an irradiating device capable of irradiating a light beam, which is not sensed by the resist, toward the periphery portion of the resist; a light receiving device disposed to confront the irradiating device, receiving the light beam and outputting a light receipt signal in accordance with the quantity of received light; a detection device for detecting the rotational angle of the resist and outputting an angular signal; a moving device for relatively moving the light beam irradiated and the substrate in a radial direction; and a control device, wherein the substrate is disposed between the irradiating device and the light receiving device so as to shield a portion of the light beam and a control device controls the moving device in accordance with the light receipt signal and the angular signal so as to relatively move the light beam and the substrate in such a manner that the radial directional width of a region which is irradiated with the light beam is substantially constant in the periphery portion of the resist.
