Lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method |
摘要 |
A lithographic apparatus having a component that moves in a first direction, the component including a passive gas flow system. The passive gas flow system has a gas inlet to drive gas into the passive gas flow system when the component moves in the first direction and a gas outlet, connected to the gas inlet by a gas conduit, to direct the gas that is driven into the passive gas flow system in a certain direction. |

1. A lithographic apparatus, comprising:
a component configured to be moved in at least a first direction during use of the lithographic apparatus, the component including a passive gas flow system comprising: a gas inlet configured such that, when the component moves in the first direction in a non-vertical plane, the movement of the component in the first direction drives gas into the passive gas flow system; and a gas outlet, connected to the gas inlet by a gas conduit, configured to direct gas, that is driven into the passive gas flow system by the movement of the component in the first direction, in a direction that is selected from the range of approximately perpendicular to the plane to approximately 10° to the first direction and to the plane. |
