Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exposure apparatus, an exposure method, and a method for manufacturing a device, which expose a pattern to a substrate in a state where an immersion area is formed between a projection optical system and the substrate.
- Semiconductor devices and liquid crystal display devices are manufactured by the so-called photolithography technique of transferring a pattern formed on a mask onto a photosensitive substrate.
- An exposure apparatus used in the photolithography process has a mask stage for supporting a mask and a substrate stage for supporting a substrate. The mask stage and the pattern of the mask are sequentially moved on the substrate stage. Is transferred to the substrate via the projection optical system.
- further improvement in the resolution of the projection optical system has been desired in order to cope with higher integration of device patterns.
- the resolution of the projection optical system increases as the exposure wavelength used decreases and as the numerical aperture of the projection optical system increases. Therefore, the exposure wavelength used in the exposure apparatus is becoming shorter year by year, and the numerical aperture of the projection optical system is also increasing.
