A scanning exposure apparatus for exposing a substrate to a pattern includes
an
exposure system which exposes the substrate to the pattern with respect to a unit
region of the substrate to which the pattern is transferred, a determination system
which determines whether a condition of an exposure performed by the exposure system
is allowable during the exposure, and a control system which causes the exposure
system to continue exposing a remaining region in the unit region of the substrate
to the pattern, even after the determination system makes a negative determination
for the unit region.
