Abstract

In order to obtain a high throughput without degrading superposition alignment, an exposure device for performing exposure to a substrate on a substrate stage while moving and positioning the substrate stage includes a setting unit which can set the value of a drive parameter for driving the substrate stage as different values depending on the types of movement of the substrate stage. The setting unit can set the value of the drive parameter in movement to alignment measurement shots, the value of the drive parameter in scanning exposure, the value of the drive parameter in another movement, and the like as values which are different from each other, and sets the highest velocity or/and the maximum acceleration in movement to alignment measurement shots to be lower than the highest velocity or/and the maximum acceleration in another movement.
