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 1):
A lithographic apparatus comprising:\n an illuminator configured to provide a beam of radiation; a support structure configured to hold a patterning device, the patterning device configured to impart the beam with a pattern in its cross-section; a substrate table configured to hold a substrate; a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate; and a liquid supply system configured to supply a liquid to a localized area of the substrate, the substrate table or both to at least partly fill a space between the projection system and the substrate, the substrate table or both, wherein the substrate table comprises a barrier configured to collect liquid, the barrier surrounding and spaced apart from the substrate.
