Summary:The object is to resolve a finer pattern with a narrower line/space width by immersion lithography technology in the manufacture of a semiconductor or the like. A liquid for use in immersion exposure includes a saturated hydrocarbon compound as a main component, wherein the content of an impurity or impurities having an unsaturated bond or a heteroatom in its structure is respectively as follows: (i) 2 mug/mL or less in total for a compound having a conjugated unsaturated bond; (ii) 30 mug/mL or less in total for a compound having no conjugated unsaturated bond but having a non-conjugated unsaturated bond; (iii) 15 mug/mL or less in total for amines having no unsaturated bond; and (iv) 100 mug/mL or less in total for a heterocyclic compound, alcohols, ethers and a halogen-containing compound, other than above compounds (i) to (iii).
