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 13):
The method according to  claim 12 , wherein detecting distortion of the patterned radiation beam comprises detecting radiation of the patterned radiation beam reflected from the substrate and comparing the detected radiation with a standard pattern in order to detect a distortion of the patterned radiation beam.
