Abstract:
A fluid handling structure configured to supply immersion liquid to a space defined between a projection system and a facing surface facing the fluid handling structure, wherein the fluid handling structure has a main body with an undersurface, a moveable member moveable relative to the main body, and a self-regulating mechanism to maintain a gap of a certain size between a bottom surface of the moveable member and the facing surface independent of the size of a gap between the undersurface and the facing surface.
