Patent number: 8514365Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is described with a drain configured to remove liquid from a gap between an edge of the substrate and the substrate table on which the substrate is supported. The drain is provided with a means to provide liquid to the drain irrespective of the position of the substrate table and/or a means to saturate gas within the drain. Those measures reduce the variations in heat load due to evaporation of liquid in the drain.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2007Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Frederik Eduard De Jong, Marcel Hendrikus Maria Beems, Marinus Aart Van Den Brink, Johannes Henricus Wilhelmus Jacobs, Martinus Hendrikus Antonius Leenders, Leon Martin Levasier, Frits Van Der Meulen, Joost Jeroen Ottens, Koen Jacobus Johannes Maria Zaal, Richard Bernardus Johannes Droste, Johannes Wilhelmus De Klerk, Peter Franciscus Wanten, Jan Cornelis Van Der Hoeven, Edwin Cornelis Kadijk, Marteijn De Jong, David Lucien Anstotz

Publication number: 20100165319Abstract: An immersion lithographic projection apparatus is disclosed in which a liquid removal system surrounds a liquid supply system which provides liquid to a space between a projection system and a substrate. The liquid removal system is moveable relative to the liquid supply system and is controlled to have substantially zero velocity relative to the moving substrate table. The gap between the liquid supply system and the liquid removal system may be covered and the atmosphere between the liquid supply system and the liquid removal system above the substrate table may be maintained such that the vapor pressure of liquid is relatively high.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2009Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Hernes Jacobs, Noud Jan Gilissen, Hans Jansen, Nicolaas Ten Kate, Nicolaas Rudolf Kemper, Martinus Hendrikus Antonius Leenders, Erik Roelof Loopstra, Johannes Catharinus Hubertus Mulkens, Harmen Klaas Van Der Schoot, Marco Koert Stavenga, Bob Streefkerk, Peter Paul Steijaert, Marcus Martinus Petrus Adrianus Vermeulen, Jan Cornelis Van Der Hoeven
