Cleanup method for optics in immersion lithography with cleaning liquid opposed by a surface of object
Abstract:
An immersion lithography apparatus and a cleanup method used for the immersion lithography apparatus in which an immersion liquid is supplied from a liquid supply member to a gap between an optical element of a projection optics and a workpiece during an immersion lithography process. A surface of an object, which is different from the workpiece, is provided such that the surface of the object and the optical element are opposite to each other. During a cleanup process, a cleaning liquid is supplied from the liquid supply member onto the surface of the object.
