    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more efficient method for driving movement of a substrate table.SOLUTION: A lithographic apparatus comprises a carrier, and a drive system for moving the carrier relative to a projection system in a plane defined by reference to orthogonal axes X and Y. The drive system comprises a shuttle configured and arranged so as to move parallel to the Y-axis, a shuttle connector connecting the shuttle to the carrier and allowing movement of the carrier in a direction parallel to the X-axis relative to the shuttle, and a shuttle driver for driving movement of the shuttle parallel to the Y-axis. The shuttle is located to one side of the carrier in a direction parallel to the X-axis, and only one shuttle is connected to the carrier. The shuttle driver and the shuttle connector are configured to supply at least 10% of the Y-component of forces applied to the carrier by the drive system.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a high throughput in the patterning of a medium imprintable on a substrate. SOLUTION: An actuator is disclosed that is equipped with: a body 40 having faces; and a plurality of parallel conduits 44 located in the body 40. Each of the conduits 44 is deformable in response to a proper pressure change in the conduit 44, by increasing the flow of a fluid in the conduit 44 or increasing a static pressure applied to the fluid in the conduit 44. A deformation of the conduit 44 causes a deformation of a face 42. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus component, such as a metrology system or an optical element (e.g., a mirror) is provided with a temperature control system for controlling deformation of the component. The control system includes channels provided close to a surface of the component through which a two phase cooling medium is supplied. The metrology system measures a position of at least a moveable item with respect to a reference position and includes a metrology frame connected to the reference position. An encoder is connected to the moveable item and constructed and arranged to measure a relative position of the encoder with respect to a reference grid. The reference grid may be provided directly on a surface of the metrology frame. A lithographic projection apparatus may have the metrology system for measuring a position of the substrate table with respect to the projection system.
