Abstract: Lithographic Apparatus and Device Manufacturing Method An immersion lithographic apparatus is provided with a liquid confinement structure which defines at least in part a space configured to contain liquid between the projection system and the substrate. In order to reduce the crossing of the edge of the substrate which is being imaged (which can lead to inclusion of bubbles in the immersion liquid), the cross-sectional area of the space in a plane parallel to the substrate is made as small as possible. The smallest theoretical size is the size of the target portion which is imaged by the projection system. In an embodiment, the shape of a final element of the projection system is also changed to have a similar size and/or shape in a cross-section parallel to the substrate to that of the target portion.

Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus has adaptations to prevent or reduce bubble formation in one or more gaps (22,25) in the substrate table (WT) by preventing bubbles escaping from the gap into the beam path and/or extracting bubbles that may form in the gap. The apparatus comprises a device (32) configured to extract liquid, gas or both from the gap. The device configured to extract liquid, gas or both comprises a membrane configured to allow gas but not liquid to be extracted from the gap.

Abstract: A two-phase thermal conditioning system for thermal conditioning a part of a lithographic apparatus, includes an evaporator to be positioned in thermal contact with the part of the lithographic apparatus for extracting heat from the part by evaporation of a fluid inside the evaporator; a condenser to be positioned at a distance from the part of the lithographic apparatus for removing heat from the fluid inside the condenser by condensation of the fluid inside the condenser; fluid lines arranged between the evaporator and the condenser to form a circuit in which fluid is able to flow; a pump arranged in the circuit to circulate the fluid in the circuit; an accumulator configured to hold fluid, wherein the accumulator is in fluid communication with the circuit and comprises a heat exchanger to transfer heat from or to fluid inside the accumulator; a temperature sensor configured to provide a measurement signal representative of the temperature of the fluid; and a controller configured to maintain a substantially constant temperature of the fluid inside the circuit by regulating the amount of heat transferred by the heat exchanger from or to fluid inside the accumulator based on the measurement signal.(Figure 2)

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a liquid supply system configured to supply an immersion liquid between a downstream optical element of a projection system of the lithographic apparatus and the substrate, and a control system which is arranged to drive the substrate table so as to perform an acceleration profile to accelerate the substrate table from a first velocity in a first direction to a second velocity in a second direction. The acceleration profile is asymmetric in time and is dimensioned so that when the substrate table is accelerated according to the acceleration profile, a force to break a meniscus of the immersion liquid remains lower than a force to maintain the meniscus of the immersion liquid. [Fig. 6B]

Abstract: A support apparatus for a lithographic apparatus has an object holder and an extraction body radially outward of the object holder. The object holder is configured to support an object. The extraction body includes an extraction opening configured to extract fluid from a top surface of the support apparatus. The extraction body is spaced from the object holder such that the extraction body is substantially decoupled from the object holder. The extraction body comprises a projection configured such that it surrounds the object holder and such that, in use, a layer of liquid is retained on the projection and in contact with an object supported on the object holder.

Abstract: A liquid supply system for an immersion lithographic apparatus provides a laminar flow of immersion liquid between a final element of the projection system and a substrate. A control system minimizes the chances of overflowing and an extractor includes an array of outlets configured to minimize vibrations. [Figure No.1]
