摘要:
An exposure apparatus EX exposes a substrate P by projecting an image of a predetermined pattern through a liquid 1 onto the substrate. The exposure apparatus includes a projection optical system which performs the projection, and a liquid supply mechanism 10 which supplies the liquid onto the substrate to form a liquid immersion area AR2 on a part of the substrate. The liquid supply mechanism supplies the liquid 1 onto the substrate P simultaneously from a plurality of positions which are apart, in a plurality of different directions, from the projection area AR1. The exposure apparatus is capable of forming the liquid immersion area stably and recovering the liquid satisfactorily. It is possible to perform the exposure process accurately while avoiding, for example, the outflow of the liquid to the surroundings.
摘要:
A liquid immersion member (6) holds liquid (LQ) between the liquid immersion member and an object such that an optical path (K) of exposure light (EL) applied to the object is filled with the liquid (LQ), thereby forming a liquid immersion space (LS). In the liquid immersion member (6), an amorphous carbon film is formed on at least a part of a region coming into contact with the liquid (LQ).

There is provided an exposure apparatus (EX) capable of forming a desirable device pattern by removing unnecessary liquid when performing exposure by projecting a pattern onto the substrate (P) via a projection optical system (PL) and the liquid (1). The exposure device projects an image of the pattern onto the substrate via the projection optical system and the liquid so as to expose the substrate. The exposure device includes a liquid removing mechanism (40) which removes the liquid remaining on a part (7) arranged in the vicinity of the image plane of the projection optical system.
摘要:
In a lithographic projection apparatus a seal member (12) surrounds a space between the final element of a projection system (PL) and a substrate (W) of the lithographic projection apparatus. A gas seal (16) is formed between said seal member and the surface of said substrate to contain liquid (11) in the space.
