Abstract:
An immersion lithography apparatus comprises a temperature controller configured to adjust a temperature of a projection system, a substrate and a liquid towards a common target temperature. Controlling the temperature of these elements and reducing temperature gradients may improve imaging consistency and general lithographic performance. Measures to control the temperature may include controlling the immersion liquid flow rate and liquid temperature, for example, via a feedback circuit.

Claim (Index 9):
The lithographic apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the projection system compensator comprises:\n a temperature sensor arranged to measure the temperature of at least a part of the projection system, the substrate, the liquid, or any combination thereof; and a storage device capable of storing a table of calibration data, the calibration data representing adjustments to be applied to an optical property of the projection system in response to a measurement of the temperature sensor.
