    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide immersion lithography equipment suitable for preventing or reducing generation of bubbles by preventing bubbles from leaking to a radiation beam passage through one or more gaps in a substrate table, or by extracting bubbles possibly generated in the gap. SOLUTION: The lithography equipment is configured to project a desired pattern image on a substrate W held on a substrate table WT through liquid; in the surface of the substrate table, a gap 22 exists between the substrate table and the outer edge of the substrate, or between the substrate table and other component which comes in contact with the liquid during normal use; and a bubble holding device configured to hold bubbles 24 possibly generated in the gap is provided in the gap.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography apparatus, having a liquid feed system configured to supply immersion liquid to spacing between the final element and substrate of the projection system, for which the improvement is made so that the liquid from the near-by area of the substrate can be removed efficiently. SOLUTION: This liquid feed system comprises a seal component for forming a sealing between the lower surface of the system and the substrate that virtually accommodates the liquid in the spacing. A concave section is formed on the lower surface, and the concave section is connected with a first pressure source and a second pressure source for extracting the liquid and/or gas. The first pressure source is set to be at a lower pressure level than that of the second pressure source so that the gas flow is produced, from the second pressure source to the first pressure source. The liquid and/or gas can be extracted due to this flow. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus capable of moving a substrate in a different direction without switching the direction of a liquid flowing between a projection system of the lithographic apparatus and the substrate, in the lithography apparatus having a liquid supplying system. SOLUTION: This lithographic apparatus has an input port for supplying the liquid to a space between the projection system of the lithography apparatus and the substrate, and an output port for removing at least one part of the liquid. The lithographic apparatus has a liquid supplying system for rotating any one or both of the input port and output port around an axis line substantially perpendicular to an exposure plane of the substrate.
