A stage driving apparatus linearly and rotationally moves a stage on a
plane. A movable unit movable in first and second directions is rotatable
on a movable-plane, and is parallel to the first and second directions. A
fixed unit supports the movable unit as the movable unit is moved in the
first and second directions and is rotated on the movable-plane. A first
driving unit supplies a driving force in the second direction, a second
driving unit supplies a second driving force in the first direction, and
a third driving unit supplies a third driving force in the first
direction.
