Abstract:
An immersion lithography apparatus includes an optical system having a liquid delivery unit. The liquid delivery unit is arranged to deliver a layer of an immersion liquid onto a surface of a wafer as well as an annulus of a barrier liquid adjacent an exterior wall of the immersion liquid. The presence of the barrier liquid prevents ingress to the immersion liquid of a gas external to the immersion liquid.
