    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 arranged to project an image of desired pattern onto a substrate W held on a substrate table WT through liquid. A gap 22 exists in the surface of the substrate table between the substrate table and the outer edge of the substrate, or between the substrate table and other component touching the liquid during normal use. The lithography equipment is provided, in the gap, with a bubble holding device arranged to hold a bubble 24 possibly generated in the gap. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate releasing mechanism used in an immersion-type lithographic device that is configured to be isolated from a substrate table by dislocating a substrate after a step including the immersing while holding the substrate on the substrate table. SOLUTION: In the immersion-type lithographic device that immerses the surface of the substrate in a liquid during an exposure operation, the substrate is held with the same contacted with the substrate table. After the exposure operation is over, the substrate is lifted and isolated from the substrate table. To overcome a condition that the substrate tends to be affixed to the substrate table with the film of a residual liquid, a pin for lifting the substrate is disposed so as to apply a force to the substrate at a position that is offset from a central axis at least first and is actuated.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the distortion of an image due to the temperature gradient of a substrate and an immersion liquid, in a liquid immersed projection exposure apparatus.
    SOLUTION: In an immersed lithographic apparatus including a temperature control unit for adjusting the temperature of a member in the final state of a projection exposure apparatus PL, a substrate, and an immersion liquid to a common target temperature T4, the temperature gradient is reduced, by adjusting the total temperature of these constituent components. By doing so, the matching properties of image formation and the total performance are improved. The means to be used includes a control of the flow rate of the immersion liquid and the temperature by a feedback circuit.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce defects caused by using an immersion liquid in an immersion liquid lithographic apparatus.SOLUTION: The lithographic apparatus includes: a support configured to support a patterning device, where the patterning device can impart a radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section, to form a patterned radiation beam; a substrate table configured to hold a substrate; a liquid supply system configured to provide a liquid to a local area of a top surface of a substrate; and a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate through the liquid. The lithographic apparatus is configured to coordinate movement of the substrate table and the support during imaging of a line of dies across the substrate and this is accomplished by movement of the line of dies under the projection system backwards and/or forwards only in a direction substantially parallel to a first direction, where the first direction is in a plane substantially parallel to the top surface.
