摘要： A lithographic projection apparatus and device manufacturing method is disclosed in which a space between a projection system and an object on a substrate table, is at least partly filled with a liquid. A sensor is positioned to be illuminated by a beam of radiation once it has passed through the liquid. An edge seal member may be provided to at least partly surround an edge of the sensor and to provide a primary surface facing the projection system substantially co-planar with a primary surface of the sensor.

摘要： A lithographic projection apparatus is disclosed in which a space between the projection system and the substrate is filled with a liquid. An edge seal member at least partly surrounds the substrate or other object on a substrate table to prevent liquid loss when edge portions of the substrate or other object are, for example, imaged or illuminated.

摘要： A map of the surface of a substrate is generated at a measurement station. The substrate is then moved to where a space between a projection lens and the substrate is filled with a liquid. The substrate is then aligned using, for example, a transmission image sensor and, using the previous mapping, the substrate can be accurately exposed. Thus the mapping does not take place in a liquid environment.

摘要： A device manufacturing method includes bringing pressure within a vacuum chamber of a lithographic projection apparatus to a temperature stabilizing pressure range; keeping the pressure within the vacuum chamber within the temperature stabilizing pressure range for a period of time so as to stabilize the temperature in the vacuum chamber; decreasing the pressure within the vacuum chamber to a production pressure range; generating a beam of radiation with a radiation system; patterning the beam of radiation; and projecting the patterned beam of radiation through the vacuum chamber onto a target portion of a layer of radiation-sensitive material on a substrate.
