Abstract:
An extraction body for a support apparatus of a lithographic apparatus. The support apparatus is configured to support an object. The extraction body is formed with an opening at a surface thereof. The opening extends within the extraction body forming a first passageway. The first passageway is configured to fluidly communicate an extraction channel in the extraction body to liquid between the surface and the object. A first pressure in the extraction channel is less than ambient pressure. At least a part of the first passageway is sized and dimensioned such that when the liquid enters the first passageway via the opening, a second pressure in the first passageway associated with surface tension of the liquid is lower than the first pressure such that at least a portion of the liquid is retained in the first passageway.

Claim (Index 17):
An extraction body for a support apparatus of a lithographic apparatus, the support apparatus configured to support an object, the extraction body having an opening at a surface thereof, the opening extending within the extraction body forming a first passageway, and the first passageway configured to fluidly communicate an extraction channel in the extraction body to liquid between the surface and the object,\n wherein at least a part of the first passageway having a wall formed from the extraction body, is sized and dimensioned such that when the liquid enters the first passageway via the opening, the at least part of the first passageway at the opening remains wet despite the presence of an underpressure in the extraction channel forcing liquid through the opening and the first passageway.
