Brevet US8446563 - Lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method - Google Brevets
A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained.
