An exposure apparatus includes an alignment station where an alignment
measurement process is executed, an exposure station where an exposure
process is executed, and two stages, which can be swapped between the
alignment station and the exposure station. A first blowing unit blows
temperature-adjusted gas toward the alignment station, a second blowing
unit blows temperature-adjusted gas toward the exposure station, and an
air curtain unit forms an air curtain between the alignment station and
the exposure station. The air curtain unit includes a third blowing unit
which is arranged between the alignment station and the exposure station
and blows gas so as to form an air curtain to partition the alignment
station and the exposure station, and a third temperature adjusting unit
supplies temperature-adjusted gas to the third blowing unit.
