In an all-wet immersion lithographic apparatus, the immersion liquid is allowed to flow off an edge of the substrate table. The immersion liquid is moved with the substrate table during exposure. The motion of the immersion liquid may result in a disturbance and/or de-wetting. A geometry of the substrate table is proposed that may reduce such a disturbance and/or de-wetting. The cross-sectional edge profile of the substrate table and/or the plan shape of the substrate table are considered.
