    Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is configured to subject a photosensitive layer on a substrate to a patterned beam of radiation via a liquid. The immersion lithographic apparatus includes a moveable object having a surface, a fluid handling system to control a presence of the liquid in a volume restricted by the surface, the fluid handling system, and a free surface of the liquid, the free surface extending between the surface and the fluid handling system; and a heating system configured to locally heat a portion of the liquid at a receding side of a periphery edge of the volume in contact with the surface, where the object is receding from the volume along a direction of movement of the object relative to the fluid handling system.

    Abstract: A radiation source suitable for providing radiation to a lithographic apparatus generates radiation from a plasma (12) generated from a fuel (31) within an enclosure comprising a gas. The plasma generates primary fuel debris collected as a fuel layer on a debris-receiving surface ((33a), (33b)). The debris-receiving surface is heated to a temperature to maintain the fuel layer as a liquid, and to provide a reduced or zero rate of formation gas bubbles within the liquid fuel layer in order to reduce contamination of optical surfaces (14) by secondary debris arising from gas bubble eruption from the liquid fuel layer. Additionally or alternatively, the radiation source may have a debris receiving surface positioned and/or oriented such that substantially all lines normal to the debris receiving surface do not intersect an optically active surface of the radiation source.
