    摘要: A lithographic system includes an immersion type lithographic apparatus, which includes a support constructed and arranged to support a substrate, a projection system constructed and arranged to project a patterned beam of radiation onto a target portion of the substrate, a liquid confinement structure configured to at least partially fill a space between the projection system and at least one of the substrate and support with an immersion liquid, a liquid supply system arranged to provide the immersion liquid to the liquid confinement structure, and a cleaning liquid supply system arranged to provide a cleaning liquid to a surface of the lithographic apparatus that comes into contact with the immersion liquid. The system includes a switch to provide the cleaning liquid directly to the liquid confinement structure and to provide the immersion liquid indirectly to the liquid confinement structure via a liquid purification system.

    摘要: Various configurations of a projection system, of a lithographic apparatus, and of a device manufacturing method are disclosed. According to a disclosed configuration, the projection system is configured to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. The projection system includes an optical element having a first face and a second face. The first face is configured to be exposed to an external gaseous environment connected to the outside of the lithographic apparatus. The second face is configured to be exposed to an internal gaseous environment, the internal gaseous environment being substantially isolated from the external gaseous environment. The projection system further includes a pressure compensation system configured to adjust the pressure in the internal gaseous environment in response to a change in pressure in the external gaseous environment or a pressure differential between the internal gaseous environment or the external gaseous environment.
