Abstract: A support table for a lithographic apparatus, the support table having a support section and a conditioning system, wherein the support section, the conditioning system, or both, is configured such that heat transfer to or from a substrate supported on the support table, resulting from the operation of the conditioning system, is greater in a region of the substrate adjacent an edge of the substrate than it is in a region of the substrate that is at the center of the substrate.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus (100) includes a patterning device support structure (104) configured to support a patterning device (110), a gas inlet (116) configured to provide a gas flow (114) across a surface of the patterning device, and a temperature conditioning device (134) configured to condition the temperature of the gas flow based on a set point. The apparatus also includes a sensor (132) configured to measure a parameter indicative of an amount of heat added to at least one of the patterning device and a volume (126) between the patterning device and a lens (124) of a projection system (106) during operational use of the lithographic system. Further, the apparatus includes a controller (130) operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to adjust the set point based on the parameter measured by the sensor to control a temperature of the patterning device.

Abstract: An immersion lithographic apparatus is provided having a substrate table including a drain configured to receive immersion fluid which leaks into a gap between an edge of a substrate on the substrate table and an edge of a recess in which the substrate is located. A thermal conditioning system is provided to thermally condition at least the portion of the recess supporting the substrate by directing one or more jets of fluid onto a reverse side of the section supporting the substrate.
