Abstract:
A substrate table of an immersion lithographic apparatus is disclosed which comprises a barrier configured to collect liquid. The barrier surrounds the substrate and is spaced apart from the substrate. In this way any liquid which is spilt from the liquid supply system can be collected to reduce the risk of contamination of delicate components of the lithographic projection apparatus.

Claim (Index 19):
A device manufacturing method comprising:\n providing a liquid to a localized area of a substrate, a substrate table or both to at least partly fill a space between a projection system and the substrate, the substrate table or both; projecting a patterned beam of radiation through the liquid onto a target portion of the substrate using the projection system; and collecting liquid with a barrier, the barrier surrounding and spaced apart from the substrate.
