Abstract:
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. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the member further comprises a gas supply circuit having an outlet in a surface facing the substrate so as to form a gas knife to remove residual liquid from a surface of the substrate, the gas knife being located radially outwardly of the recess.
