Abstract
A drawing apparatus includes: a drawing part; a cleaning-gas generator; a first valve between the cleaning-gas generator and the drawing part and adjusting a supply amount of gas to the drawing part; a first pressure gauge measuring a pressure in the drawing part; a compensation-gas introducing part introducing compensation-gas to be supplied between the cleaning-gas generator and the first valve; a second valve between the compensation-gas introducing part and the first valve and adjusting a supply amount of the compensation-gas; and a valve controller controlling the first and second valves, wherein the valve controller controls the first valve to supply the cleaning-gas at a predetermined flow rate to the drawing part and controls the second valve to cause a pressure in the drawing part to be a predetermined pressure when the first pressure gauge detects a pressure reduction due to a reduction in a supply flow rate of the cleaning-gas.
