An exposure apparatus for emitting exposure light onto a substrate via a
projection optical system and a liquid to expose the substrate includes a
supply pipe which supplies the liquid; a recovery pipe which recovers the
liquid; a connection pipe which connects the supply pipe and the recovery
pipe; and a switching device which switches a flow path of the liquid so
that when liquid supply is stopped, the liquid that has flowed into the
supply pipe flows to the recovery pipe via the connection pipe. The
apparatus may further include a temperature regulation apparatus
connected to the supply pipe, which performs temperature regulation of
the liquid supplied to the supply pipe, and has a rough temperature
regulator which roughly regulates the temperature of the liquid, and a
fine temperature regulator which is arranged between the rough
temperature regulator and the supply pipe and performs fine regulation of
this temperature.
