Abstract

An immersion lithographic apparatus provides an immersion liquid including photosensitive material(s) configured to form a patterned film on the surface of a substrate on exposure to a radiation beam. Irradiation through the immersion liquid onto a substrate leads to deposition of a film on the substrate. Film formation occurs only in the photoirradiated region, so that the film formed has a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the radiation.
