    摘要: An exposure apparatus which projects a pattern formed on a mask onto a substrate by using exposure light. The apparatus includes a shielding member which surrounds a light path space through which exposure light passes and has a passage which makes the light path space communicate with an ambient space, and a gas supply system which supplies inert gas to the light path space surrounded by the shielding member. A direction of the passage coincides with a flow direction of an ambient atmosphere which flows through the ambient space, and the passage includes a first passage and a second passage. The first passage is located at a position upstream, with respect to the flow direction, relative to the second passage, and the first passage is smaller in section than the second passage.

    摘要: This invention shortens a time required to purge, with inert gas, gas in a space (optical path space) through which exposure light passes, such as a space between a projection optical system and a substrate. The exposure apparatus includes a wafer stage (102), a projection optical system (101), and an air supply portion (112) which supplies inert gas at a nonuniform flow velocity to an optical path space (113) through which exposure light passes between the wafer stage (102) and the projection optical system (101). A downward flow of inert gas is formed.
