Abstract:
An immersion lithographic apparatus is described in which a two-phase flow is separated into liquid-rich and gas-rich flows by causing the liquid-rich flow to preferentially flow along a surface.

Claim (Index 1):
A lithographic apparatus comprising:\n a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate; and a fluid handling structure arranged to remove liquid and gas in a two-phase flow from a surface, the fluid handling structure comprising a phase separator having a surface and arranged to separate the two-phase flow into a first flow and a second flow, the first flow having a higher ratio of liquid to gas than the two-phase flow and flowing along the phase separator surface, the second flow having a higher ratio of gas to liquid than the two-phase flow.
