Abstract

An exposure apparatus projects a pattern image onto a substrate via a projection optical system and a liquid, and the projection optical system has an optical member that comes into contact with the liquid and an optical group arranged between the optical member and a reticle. A holding mechanism that holds the optical member and the optical group holds the optical member so that it is movable relative to the optical group.
