Abstract:
PURPOSE: A lithography apparatus, a method for controlling the same, and a method for manufacturing a device using the same are provided to reduce the generation risk of imaging defects by supplying immersing liquid into a space between a projection system and an opposite surface. CONSTITUTION: Patterned radiation beam directs toward a substrate through a projection system. The substrate is supported by a table. A liquid handling system supplies immersing liquid into a space between the projection system and an opposite surface. The structure of an opening(70) affects the influence of a liquid handling structure(12) in which the liquid is contained. A controller controls the operation of the table with respect to the liquid handling system.
