Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an object holder (100) for use in a lithographic apparatus, the object holder comprising one or more electrically functional components, the method comprising: using a composite structure comprising a carrier sheet (20) different from a main body (100a) of the object holder and a layered structure comprising one or a plurality of layers (22) and formed on the carrier sheet; connecting the composite structure to a surface of the main body such that the layered structure is between the carrier sheet and the surface of the main body; and removing the carrier sheet from the composite structure, leaving the layered structure connected to the main body.
