Definitions

- the central portion of the terminal optical member serves as an optical path, so that the outer edge of the optical member is inevitably held (held). Therefore, a part of the mechanism inevitably protrudes outside the terminal optical member and becomes larger than the terminal optical member. For this reason, for example, in the case of an immersion type exposure apparatus, a nozzle for forming an immersion region between the lower surface of the optical member at the end and the wafer surface is provided outside the holding mechanism of the optical member (that is, the projection optical system). Added to the outside). This means that the immersion area is widened.
- This expansion of the immersion area means that an area that is almost flush with the wafer surface is required around the wafer, resulting in an increase in the size of the table that holds the wafer and, consequently, difficulty in controlling its position.
- the sensor when the height position of the wafer surface in the projection area of the illumination light by the projection optical system is detected by, for example, an optical sensor, the sensor must be arranged at a position away from the projection optical system.
- the use of a mechanism for mechanically gripping the optical member at the end is a cause of increasing the size of the exposure apparatus.
- the terminal optical member may be deformed, and as a result, the imaging performance of the projection optical system may be deteriorated.
- metal ions may elute into the liquid from the metal constituting the mechanical mechanism, and the exposure accuracy may be reduced.
