    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a positioning system for positioning a portion of a lithographic apparatus. SOLUTION: The lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system, a support, a substrate table, a projection system, and an actuator. The illumination system is configured to condition a radiation beam. The support is constructed to support a patterning device. The patterning device is capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam. The substrate table is constructed to hold a substrate. The projection system is configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The actuator is constructed and arranged to exert a force on a part of the lithographic apparatus via an elongated structure. The elongated structure is provided with a vibration damper constructed and arranged to damp vibrations in the elongated structure. The actuator may be used in a positioning system configured to position a portion of the lithographic apparatus, and the portion may be the support and/or substrate table.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide accurate short stroke positioning.SOLUTION: A stage system comprises an object table which holds an object, a short stroke actuator element which moves the object table over a first moving range, a long stroke actuator element which moves the short stroke actuator element over a second moving range wider than the first moving range. The stage system further comprises a pneumatic compensation device including a sensor which measures an amount representing an air disturbance force on the short stroke actuator element, an actuator which provides a compensation force at least partially compensating for air disturbance, and a controller. The sensor is connected to a controller input of the controller, and the actuator is connected to a controller output of the controller. The controller drives the actuator in response to a signal received from the sensor.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vibration isolation system for an imprint lithographic apparatus, capable of improving a throughput of an imprint lithographic apparatus.
    SOLUTION: An imprint lithographic apparatus 100 includes an actuator 130 displacing an imprint template holder 110 relative to a substrate holder 120. A support structure 140 of the imprint template holder 110 and/or the substrate holder 120 is attached to a vibration isolation system 150 attached to a base 160. The vibration isolation system 150 isolates vibration of the support structure 140 relative to the base 160. A control unit controlling the actuator 130 in an imprint process controls an adjusting member of the vibration isolation system 150, and adjusts a dynamic characteristic of the vibration isolation system 150 during at least part of the imprint process to reduce a displacement of the support structure 140 relative to the base 160, the displacement being caused by a force acting the support structure 140.
