Patent number: 10705439Abstract: A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignees: ASML Netherlands B.V., ASML Holding N.V.Inventors: Nicolaas Rudolf Kemper, Henrikus Herman Marie Cox, Sjoerd Nicolaas Lambertus Donders, Roelof Frederik De Graaf, Christiaan Alexander Hoogendam, Nicolaas Ten Kate, Martinus Hendrikus Antonius Leenders, Jeroen Johannes Sophia Maria Mertens, Frits Van Der Meulen, Joost Jeroen Ottens, Franciscus Johannes Herman Maria Teunissen, Jan-Gerard Cornelis Van Der Toorn, Martinus Cornelis Maria Verhagen, Marco Polizzi, Edwin Augustinus Matheus Van Gompel, Johannes Petrus Maria Smeulers, Stefan Philip Christiaan Belfroid, Herman Vogel
