Abstract:
An exposure apparatus (1) including a projection system (12, 14) configured to project a plurality of radiation beams onto a target; a movable frame (8) that is at least rotatable around an axis (10); and an actuator system (11) configured to displace the movable frame to an axis away from an axis corresponding to the geometric center of the movable frame and to cause the frame to rotate around an axis through the center of mass of the frame.
Abstract:
A support (40) for a movable element (8) includes a stator element (52), a gravity compensator field inducing element (80) mounted on the stator element, the gravity compensator field inducing element configured to apply a translational force (46) to the movable element by controlling a magnetic field (81) in a gap (42) between the stator element and the movable element, and a plurality of torque compensator field inducing elements (66A-D) mounted on the stator element, the torque compensator field inducing elements configured to apply a torque to the movable element by controlling a magnetic field (77, 79) in the gap between the stator element and the movable element, the torque being about a first axis (48, 50) substantially perpendicular to the direction of the translational force applied by the gravity compensator field inducing element.
