The present invention is an exposure apparatus that exposes a substrate
through a projection optical system and a liquid, comprising: a first
nozzle member, which is provided in the vicinity of the image plane side
of the projection optical system, that has a supply port that supplies
the liquid and a first recovery port that recovers the liquid; and a
second nozzle member, which is provided on the outer side of the first
nozzle member with respect to a projection area of the projection optical
system, that has a second recovery port, which recovers the liquid, that
is separate from the first recovery port. The first nozzle member and the
second nozzle member are mutually independent members.
