    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for expanding the position control bandwidth of a substrate support so as to position a large-mass substrate support of a lithographic apparatus with high accuracy. SOLUTION: The lithographic apparatus has an illumination system for conditioning a radiation beam, and a patterning device support for supporting a patterning device. Furthermore, the lithographic apparatus has: a substrate support for supporting a substrate; a machine frame for supporting the substrate support; a projection system for projecting a patterned beam onto a target part of the substrate; and a substrate support drive for moving the substrate support at least in one direction. The lithographic apparatus can have a reaction mass, a balance mass, and a base frame, and the substrate support drive is formed so as to generate a force, at least in one direction between the substrate support and the reaction mass, the balance mass, or a support frame.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support means simple in structure, low in cost and usable in a vacuum to support a balance mass for nullifying vibration caused by reaction force when moving a substrate table in a lithographic projection apparatus.
    SOLUTION: The balance mass of the lithographic projection apparatus is supported on a base frame by at least one flexible support element mechanically mounted to the balance mass and the base frame and having at least two pivot points. Since the support element has at least two pivot points, the support means hardly shows resistance to the horizontal motion of the balance mass BM to allow the balance mass BM to freely move in a horizontal direction, and is usable in the vacuum because of not using an air bearing.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a table in which measures are taken to seal between the table and an edge of an object, in use, supported on the table.
    SOLUTION: In particular, a capillary passage is formed between the object on the table and the table itself. A meniscus pinning feature and/or the presence of an overpressure at the radially inward side of the capillary passage holds the liquid in the passage and helps prevent it from advancing further radially inwardly. The features to perform this function may be associated with or formed in a member surrounding the object. The member may be thermally decoupled from a part of the table.
