    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the formation of an undesired droplet of an immersion liquid on one or a plurality of surfaces of an immersion lithographic apparatus or to remove the droplet.SOLUTION: Electrowetting is employed to control the behavior of the immersion liquid in the immersion lithographic apparatus. There is provided an active immersion liquid control system including: a first electrode capable of electrically connecting a surface at least periodically contacting to the immersion liquid to the immersion liquid to be controlled; a second electrode related to the surface, electrically insulated from the immersion liquid to be controlled; and a voltage control device for supplying a controlled voltage difference between the first electrode and the second electrode.
