Abstract:
A circulation system for a high refractive index liquid includes a first collecting section configured to collect a high refractive index liquid used in an immersion light exposure section; a first supply section configured to supply the high refractive index liquid collected in the first collecting section to a cleaning section as a cleaning liquid; a second collecting section configured to collect the high refractive index liquid used in the cleaning section; and a second supply section configured to supply the high refractive index liquid collected in the second collecting section to the immersion light exposure section, wherein the high refractive index liquid is circulated between the immersion light exposure section and the cleaning section.
