Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the infiltration of a liquid between a substrate and a holder even when the liquid is filled in between a projection optical system and the substrate to perform an exposure processing. SOLUTION: A stage apparatus moves while holding a substrate P to be exposed through a liquid 1 and includes: a plurality of support parts 34 supporting the substrate P; and a circumferential member 30 provided around the plurality of support parts 34 to form a gap between the circumferential member 30 itself and a side surface of the substrate P supported by the plurality of support parts 34. The circumferential member 30 includes: a channel 62 opened to a side surface portion of the circumferential member; and an inclined surface 5 inclined toward the channel 62 from the gap.
