In an exposure apparatus having a plurality of substrate stages moving
between a plurality of stations, errors due to the combination of the
stage and a position measuring unit, such as Abbe error and errors due to
the surface configuration of a reflection mirror, are precisely corrected
to reduce the position error of the substrate stage. The exposure
apparatus includes a control device having a storage unit and a
correction unit. The storage unit stores the correction information
established every combination of the plurality of substrate stages and a
plurality of position measuring units, and the correction unit corrects
the result measured by the plurality of position measuring units on the
basis of the correction information corresponding to the combination of
the substrate stages and the position measuring units among pieces of
correction information stored in the storage unit.
