Abstract

See full text

An exposure apparatus projects an image of a pattern formed on a mask onto a substrate through a projection optical system. The exposure apparatus includes: a prediction unit configured to predict an imaging characteristic fluctuation of the projection optical system which is caused by thermal action due to exposure, by using a model formula modeling the imaging characteristic fluctuation; and a correction unit configured to correct the imaging characteristic based on a prediction result obtained by the prediction unit. The model formula includes a composition of a plurality of functions modeling the imaging characteristic fluctuation and indicating a time dependency, each of the plurality of functions having an exposure-angle-of-view dependency and the exposure-angle-of-view dependencies of the plurality of functions being different from each other.
