Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090009734Lithographic apparatus and device manufacturing method - In an immersion lithography apparatus, ultrasonic waves are used to atomize liquid on a surface of the substrate.01-08-2009
20090303455LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.12-10-2009
20100149514LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.06-17-2010
20100180952CONTROLLED FORMATION OF HYDRATES - The invention relates to a method for reducing or avoiding deposition of a hydrocarbon hydrate on a surface that is in contact with a hydrocarbon flow which contains water, the method comprising controlling the nucleation of dry hydrocarbon hydrate crystals in the flow. The invention further relates to a method for transporting a hydrocarbon flow which contains a hydrocarbon hydrate and to a method for preparing a dry hydrocarbon hydrate.07-22-2010
20100321653LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A barrier member is provided for use in immersion lithography. The barrier member includes an extractor assembly on a bottom surface configured to face the substrate. The extractor assembly includes a plate configured to split the space between a liquid removal device and the substrate in two such that a meniscus is formed in an upper channel between the liquid removal device and the plate and below the plate between the plate and the substrate.12-23-2010
20110051107LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - In an immersion lithography apparatus, ultrasonic waves are used to atomize liquid on a surface of the substrate.03-03-2011
20110255953Turbo machine and method to reduce vibration in turbo machines - A turbo machine (10-20-2011
20110273675LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS AND DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.11-10-2011
