    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the risk of forming bubbles in an immersion liquid through which a beam passes. SOLUTION: In an immersion lithographic apparatus, bubble formation in the immersion liquid is reduced or prevented by reducing a gap size or area on a substrate table. The gap size is reduced using an edge member which may be, for example, a ring known as a BES (Bubble Extraction System) ring. Information regarding the shape and/or cross-sectional dimension (e.g., diameter) of the substrate, or information regarding the gap size, is transmitted to a controller that controls the edge member in order for the edge member, for example, to be reduced to an appropriate size to reduce the gap as much as possible, desirably without compressing the edge of the substrate. Alternatively or additionally, the gap may be reduced by moving the substrate and/or the edge member adjacent the edge of a surface of the substrate table. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for calibrating an optimum take over height of a substrate in a lithographic apparatus between a substrate table and an ejector element movable to load and unload the substrate from the substrate table. SOLUTION: The method includes clamping the substrate on one of the substrate table and ejector element; moving the ejector element between an unloaded state wherein the substrate is supported by the substrate table and a loaded state wherein the substrate is at least partly supported by the ejector element; determining a reference height of the ejector element at the moment that the weight of the substrate is at least partly taken over between the substrate table and the ejector element; and determining the optimum take over height for the ejector element from the determined reference height.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the risk that bubbles are formed in an immersion liquid through which a beam passes.SOLUTION: In an immersion lithography apparatus, formation of bubbles in an immersion liquid is reduced or prevented by reducing the size or the region of a gap above a substrate table. The gap size is reduced using an edge member which may be a ring, well known as a BES (bubble extraction system) ring, for example. In order to reduce the gap as much as possible by reducing the edge member to have a proper size without compressing the edge of a substrate desirably, information about the shape and/or the section size (e.g. diameter) of the substrate, or information about the gap size is transmitted to a controller controlling the edge member. Alternatively or additionally, the gap can be reduced by moving the edge member contiguous to the edge of the substrate and/or the surface of the substrate table.
