    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithographic apparatus more efficiently using a bandwidth available within a data path inside a maskless lithographic system, and also to provide a device manufacturing method. SOLUTION: The lithography apparatus includes: a projection system configured to project a beam of radiation as an array of sub-beams of radiation and an array of individually controllable elements configured to modulate the sub-beams of radiation to form a requested dose pattern on a substrate. The requested dose pattern is built up over time from an array of localized exposures in which at least neighboring localized exposures are imaged at substantially different times, and in which each localized exposure is produced by one of the sub-beams of radiation. The lithography apparatus also includes: a rasterizer device arranged to convert data; and also a data manipulation device arranged to constitute a control signal suitable for controlling the array of individually controllable elements.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure the electrostatic capacitance of a support structure with high accuracy. SOLUTION: The support structure includes an electrode 25, a cable 29 and a control device 37. The cable 29 has a first conductor 28 and a second conductor 26. The first conductor 28 is connected to an AC power source 33 which is connected to a DC power source 31 in series. The control device controls the DC power source 31 to apply a prescribed DC voltage on the electrode 25 to give holding power to an object, and applies on the electrode 25 a predetermined first AC voltage having a first amplitude and a first phase via a first conductor by controlling the first AC power source so as to detect the object by measuring the electrostatic capacitance. The detection assembly includes a second AC power source 35 connected to the second conductor, and the control device controls the second AC power source so as to apply on a second conductor a predetermined second AC voltage having a second amplitude and a second phase respectively equal to the first amplitude and the first phase.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the method of reducing contamination of an immersion liquid in a lithographic apparatus when a closing surface is used to confine liquid in a liquid supply system. To avoid or reduce particulate contamination caused by the closing surface colliding with the liquid supply system, the closing surface is maintained at a distance away from the liquid supply system such that there is no collision between the closing surface and the liquid supply system, but the liquid is nonetheless confined.

    Abstract: An assembly for capacitively detecting an object on a support structure includes at least one electrode being arranged in the vicinity of the support structure, and at least one cable being connected to the at least one electrode. The at least one cable has a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor is connected to a series connection of a DC source and a first AC source. A control device is arranged to control the DC source to provide a predetermined DC voltage to the at least one electrode to provide a clamping force on the object, and control the first AC source to provide a predetermined first AC voltage with a first amplitude and a first phase via the first conductor to the at least one electrode for capacitively detecting the object. The assembly includes a second AC source connected to the second conductor and the control device is arranged to control the second AC source to provide a predetermined second AC voltage to the second conductor. The second AC voltage has a second amplitude and a second phase, respectively, which are substantially equal to the first amplitude and first phase, respectively.
