    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable accurate measurement without degrading throughput of an alignment sensor.SOLUTION: A measurement optical system comprises an illumination subsystem for illuminating a mark 202 with a radiation spot and a detecting subsystem 580 for detecting radiation diffracted by the mark. A substrate and the measurement optical system move relatively to each other at a first velocity (v) so as to scan the mark while synchronously moving the radiation spot relatively to the reference frame of the measurement optical system at a second velocity (v). The spot scans the mark at a third velocity (v) which is lower than the first velocity to allow more time for accurate position measurements to be acquired. An objective lens 524 remains fixed in relation to the reference frame while a moving optical element 562 imparts the movement of the radiation spot relative to the reference frame.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an immersion lithographic apparatus that improves a stability of meniscus to control pattern defects caused by bubbles in an immersion liquid or the like.SOLUTION: In the apparatus, a cover 25 includes a substrate table having a substantially planar upper surface, in which a recess 22 that is configured to receive a substrate W so that the substrate W is supported by the recess 22, is formed. The cover 25 includes a substantially planar body that, in use, extends around the substrate from the upper surface to a peripheral part of an upper major face of the substrate in order to cover a gap between an edge of the recess 22 and an edge of the substrate. The cover includes relatively flexible part that, in use, extends around the substrate in order to be configured to have a rigidity lower than that of the rest part of the cover.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a displacement measuring system of high accuracy in a lithography device.SOLUTION: A displacement measuring system comprises at least one retroreflector, and a diffraction grating. The displacement measuring system is configured to measure displacement by providing a first radiation beam to a measuring system, and the diffraction grating diffracts the first radiation beam first time to form plural diffracted beams. At least one retroreflector sequentially turns the diffracted beams in a direction to diffract the beams on the diffraction grating second time. At least one reflector turns the diffracted beams on the diffraction grating at least third time before the diffracted beams are re-coupled to form a second beam. Then, a displacement system is provided with a sensor configured to receive the second beam and determine displacement according to a strength of the second beam.
