    摘要: A lithographic projection apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an illumination system configured to condition a beam of radiation, and a support structure configured to support a patterning device. The patterning device serves to impart the beam of radiation with a pattern in its cross-section. The apparatus also includes a substrate table configured to hold a substrate, a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and a fluid supply system configured to provide a fluid to a volume. The volume includes at least a portion of the projection system and/or at least a portion of the illumination system. The apparatus further includes a coupling device configured to couple the fluid supply system to the substrate table, substrate, support structure, patterning device, or any combination thereof.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an illuminator for conditioning a beam of radiation, and a first support for supporting a patterning device that serves to pattern the beam of radiation according to a desired pattern. The apparatus also includes a second support for supporting a substrate, a projection system for projecting the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and at least one gas generator for generating a conditioned gas flow. The gas generator includes a guiding element for guiding the gas flow to a lower volume generally located below a lower surface of the projection system and to a volume between the lower surface and the substrate. The guiding element directs the gas flow in a generally downward direction and then in a direction generally parallel to the lower surface.
