    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus having a liquid supply system, wherein a substrate can be moved in different directions without switching a direction of a liquid flowing between a projection system of the lithographic apparatus and the substrate. SOLUTION: The immersion lithographic apparatus includes a liquid supply system which has an inlet configured to supply the liquid to a space between the projection system of the lithographic apparatus and the substrate and an outlet configured to remove at least a part of the liquid and is configured to rotate the inlet, the outlet, or both of them about an axis substantially perpendicular to an exposure plane of the substrate.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for alleviating the problem concerning the presence of a dipping liquid in a lithographic projection apparatus.
    SOLUTION: In the lithographic projection apparatus, a liquid supplying system supplies the dipping liquid between the last element of the projection apparatus and a substrate. An active drying station is provided to actively remove the remained dipping liquid from the exposed substrate W or other objects. The active drying station is equipped with a gas stream forming means or a dipping liquid dissolving liquid supplying means for dissolving the dipping liquid.

    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.
