    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus improved from a liquid supply system configured to supply immersion liquid into interspace between a terminal element of a projection system and a substrate, so as to efficiently remove the liquid from the vicinity of the substrate. SOLUTION: The liquid supply system includes a sealing member for forming a seal between its own undersurface and the substrate to substantially store the liquid in the space. A recess is formed in the undersurface and connected to a first pressure source and a second pressure source for extracting the liquid and/or gas. The first pressure source has lower pressure than the second pressure source, gas flow generated from the second pressure source to the first pressure source, and the liquid and/or gas extracted by the flow.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography apparatus, having a liquid feed system configured to supply immersion liquid to spacing between the final element and substrate of the projection system, for which the improvement is made so that the liquid from the near-by area of the substrate can be removed efficiently. SOLUTION: This liquid feed system comprises a seal component for forming a sealing between the lower surface of the system and the substrate that virtually accommodates the liquid in the spacing. A concave section is formed on the lower surface, and the concave section is connected with a first pressure source and a second pressure source for extracting the liquid and/or gas. The first pressure source is set to be at a lower pressure level than that of the second pressure source so that the gas flow is produced, from the second pressure source to the first pressure source. The liquid and/or gas can be extracted due to this flow. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system efficiently and effectively eliminating an energy loss in lithography equipment when a relevant component is locally cooled by the evaporation of a supplied liquid, and defocus and lens aberration are caused by transformation and alteration in immersion lithography for filling a gap between a projection system and a substrate with an immersion liquid in order to increase the number of holes. SOLUTION: A timetable 34 is prepared having information on time at which the evaporation of a supplied liquid 11 is the most likely caused, the position of a substrate W, a speed, an acceleration speed and the like. The evaporation of a local area is prevented by heating at least a portion of the substrate W by using a heater according to the timetable 34 by using a liquid evaporation control device 30 or sending humidified air.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid supply system that can be operated continuously, irrespective of changes in scan direction of a substrate relative to a projection system, while ensuring thorough refreshment of a liquid reservoir. SOLUTION: In a scanning immersion lithographic apparatus, immersion liquid is supplied on one side of the space between the projection system and the substrate and drained on the other side so that the flow of liquid is substantially perpendicular to the scan direction.
