Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide exposure equipment which can suppress deterioration of the performance, since the performance of the equipment easily deteriorates since bacteria may possibly be generated, because of a liquid remaining in a member in oil immersion exposure equipment, and if the generation of the bacteria is left standing, pollution expands to generate poor exposure. SOLUTION: Exposure equipment EX is a projection exposure equipment of liquid immersion exposure type. The equipment exposes a substrate P to an exposure light EL via a liquid LQ, with which the space between the lowermost stream of a projection system and the substrate is filled. The exposure equipment EX comprises a bactericidal device 11, which discharges an electromagnetic wave which makes the bacteria annihilates. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
