    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply a cleaning liquid, having a rate of a base liquid and an emulsified component within a desirable work region, to an immersion system to be cleaned. SOLUTION: A cleaning liquid supply apparatus is configured to supply an emulsified cleaning fluid to an immersion lithographic apparatus. The apparatus includes a mixer configured to mix an additive fluid from an additive fluid supply section and an immersion liquid from an immersion supply section so as to prepare the emulsified cleaning fluid, a sensor system configured to sense physical characteristics of the emulsified cleaning fluid, and a controller connected to the sensor and mixer. The controller controls the supply of the additive fluid from the additive fluid supply section to the mixer and physical characteristics of the emulsified cleaning fluid.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sensor effective for a liquid immersion apparatus.SOLUTION: This sensor includes a detector, a transparent layer and an opaque pattern layer. The detector is configured to sense a characteristic of a radiation beam. The transparent layer is configured to allow the passage of the radiation beam therethrough. The transparent layer covers the detector. The opaque pattern layer is configured to impart a pattern to the radiation beam. The patterning layer is provided with an opening, and a filling material is arranged in the opening. The filling material is transparent to the radiation beam and has a refractive index identical to that of the transparent layer.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for removing contamination from a device used for lithography as an immersion liquid may be contaminated by resist separated from a substrate or the layer deposited on the substrate or particles or flakes of other materials and such contamination, and can make it difficult or impossible to correctly project a (patterned) beam of radiation on the substrate via the immersion liquid. SOLUTION: The method comprises mounting the substrate on a device, the substrate comprising a rigid support layer and a deformable layer provided on the rigid support layer, bringing the deformable layer of the substrate into contact with a surface of the device from which the contamination is removed, and introducing a relative motion between the deformable layer and the surface of the device from which the contamination is removed, thereby separating the contamination from the surface for removal, taking and removing the separated contamination. Other embodiments are described and claimed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
