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 28):
The immersion lithographic apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein a trench is formed between an edge of the recess and an edge of the substrate when supported by the substrate table, and the extraction channel is in fluid communication with the trench.
