    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid handling system in which a vibration produced by two phase extraction is reduced or eliminated. SOLUTION: A liquid-immersion lithography usually is equipped with a fluid handling system. The handling system generally has a two phase fluid extraction system which removes a mixture of a gas and a liquid from a predetermined place. Since the extract fluid contains two phases, the pressure in the extract system varies sometimes. It is likely that the pressure variation passes through the liquid-immersion liquid to cause an incorrect exposing light. A buffer chamber can be used to reduce the pressure variation in the extract system. The buffer chamber may be connected to the fluid extract system in order to provide a fixed volume of gas to reduce the pressure variation. Substitutively or additionally, a flexible wall portion may be provided to somewhere in the fluid extract system. The flexible wall portion may respond to the pressure variation in the fluid extract system to change its shape. The change of the shape may be a help when the flexible wall portion reduces or eliminates the pressure variation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    解决方案:液浸光刻通常配备有流体处理系统。 处理系统通常具有从预定位置去除气体和液体的混合物的两相流体萃取系统。 由于萃取液含有两相,萃取系统中的压力有时会变化。 压力变化很可能通过液浸液体导致不正确的曝光。 可以使用缓冲室来减少提取系统中的压力变化。 缓冲室可以连接到流体提取系统,以提供固定体积的气体以减小压力变化。 替代地或另外地,柔性壁部分可以设置在流体提取系统的某处。 柔性壁部分可以响应于流体提取系统中的压力变化以改变其形状。 当柔性壁部分减小或消除压力变化时,形状的变化可能是有帮助的。 版权所有(C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a table in which measures are taken to seal between the table and an edge of an object, in use, supported on the table.
    SOLUTION: In particular, a capillary passage is formed between the object on the table and the table itself. A meniscus pinning feature and/or the presence of an overpressure at the radially inward side of the capillary passage holds the liquid in the passage and helps prevent it from advancing further radially inwardly. The features to perform this function may be associated with or formed in a member surrounding the object. The member may be thermally decoupled from a part of the table.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for removing a liquid from a substrate table, in particular, from a gap between the substrate table and a substrate, and to provide a method therefor.
    SOLUTION: In the liquid removing method, the liquid is removed from the substrate held on the substrate table and from the gap between the substrate and the substrate table. A liquid removing device is provided with at least one outlet port, forming a predetermined geometric long and thin extractor; the substrate table is moved relative to the liquid removing device so that the extractor passes all through the substrate and the gap; and that the local tangent in the local portion of the extractor at the end of non-dry portion in the gap substantially holds the angle between about 35° and 90° on a planar view, at arbitrary times with respect to that in the gap.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an immersion lithographic apparatus capable of improving removal of liquid from a substrate or a substrate table surface. SOLUTION: A gas knife 410 comprises eight segments each of which has a radius smaller than an average radius of the gas knife 410 to reserve a gas knife area further apart from the average radius and near a projection beam PB. A liquid extractor 420 lies at a part of the most distant gas knife 410 present inside in radius direction of the gas knife 410. Combination of such a gas knife 410 and a substrate displacement makes it possible to collect liquid in the liquid extractor 420, which works as a liquid removal device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
