    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method that utilize efficient patterning means. SOLUTION: The present invention includes a lithographic apparatus and a device manufacturing method that uses a patterning apparatus that increases the number of individually controllable elements to be simultaneously programmed, in order to increase the update speed of an array of the individually controllable elements. Thus, the number of high-speed analog inputs required for the array is decreased, the complexity of the array is reduced, and the maximum update speed of the array is increased. Furthermore, the number of elements in the array can be increased easily. The patterning apparatus is divided into a plurality of cell groups, and the lithographic apparatus may include a plurality of supply channels. Each supply channel is disposed such that it supplies a voltage signal to each cell that corresponds to the cell group. Thus, the required number of inputs to the patterning apparatus for individually addressing each cell is reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safety system for preventing a collision of a support with another parts, for a lithographic apparatus which has a stationary magnet motor for driving the support such as a substrate support or a patterning device support. SOLUTION: A measurement system for measuring the position of the support. The measurement system measures a magnetic field strength of an alternating magnetic field generated by a magnet assembly of the stationary magnet motor, and/or measures generation of eddy currents in a metallic layer shielding the magnet assembly in combination with an inductance measurement of an electromagnet generating the alternating magnetic field causing the eddy currents, and/or measures light using an optical position sensitive sensor such as a CCD metric or linear photodiode positioned in a light plane emitted by an emitter.
