    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a fluid handling structure designed for all wet liquid immersion lithography. SOLUTION: The fluid handling structure has: a first opening for providing a fluid to a space between the final element of a projection system and a substrate and/or a substrate table; a barrier for preventing a liquid flow coming out of a space between the fluid handling structure and the substrate; and a second opening for being open to the radial outer side of the space and providing a fluid flow to the upper surface of the substrate and/or the substrate table on the radial outer side of the space from the fluid handling structure. A controller can be set so that a fluid flow going toward the center of the substrate table becomes larger than a fluid flow in a direction apart from the center of the substrate table.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that reduces an influence of a droplet on a final optical element, or substantially avoids the formation of such a droplet. SOLUTION: This lithography device includes: a projection system PS; and a liquid confinement structure for at least partially confining an immersion liquid in an immersion space demarcated by the projection system, a liquid confinement structure 12, and also a substrate and/or a substrate table. A wet gas space for confining a wet gas is demarcated among the projection system, the liquid confinement structure, and the immersion liquid in the immersion space. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
