<p>A lithographic apparatus having a fluid handling structure configured to contain immersion fluid in a space adjacent to an upper surface of a substrate table and/or a substrate located in a recess of the substrate table, a cover including a planar main body that, in use, extends around a substrate from the upper surface to a peripheral section of an upper major face of the substrate in order to cover a gap between an edge of the recess and an edge of the substrate, and an immersion fluid film disruptor configured to disrupt the formation of a film of immersion fluid between an edge of the cover and immersion fluid contained by the fluid handling structure during movement of the substrate table relative to the fluid handling structure.</p> |
