An exposure apparatus exposes a substrate by projecting an image of a
predetermined pattern through a liquid onto the substrate. The exposure
apparatus includes a projection optical system which projects the image
of the pattern onto the substrate, a liquid supply mechanism which has a
supply flow passage through which the liquid is supplied onto the
substrate, and a liquid recovery mechanism which has a recovery flow
passage through which the supplied liquid is recovered. At least one of
the supply flow passage and the recovery flow passage is formed in a
stacked member in which a plurality of plate members are stacked.
