    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To arrange a mask table (5), a projection system (3), a substrate table (1) that can be moved to the projection system (3) by a driving unit (21) and a measuring system (39) measuring the position of the substrate table (1) with respect to the projection system (3) in a lithography device. SOLUTION: The still part (157) of the driving unit (21) is fixed to the machine frame (85) of the lithography device. The still parts (51, 53 and 55) of the measuring system (39) are fixed to the reference frame (89) of the lithography device which is dynamically insulated from the machine frame (85) by a dynamic insulating device (95). Thus, vibration which occurs in the machine frame (85) is prevented from being transmitted to the reference frame (89) by reaction force of the driving unit (21), and precision of the measuring system (39) is prevented from being adversely affected by such vibration.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lithography projector having a Lorentz driver which can keep its performance while the weight of a back iron is reduced. SOLUTION: This Lorentz driver generates a force between its first part and second part. The Lorentz driver has a main magnet system which is attached to its first part and generates a first magnetic field; an auxiliary magnet system which is attached to its first part, is arranged in a hullback arrangement and generates a second magnetic field; and a conductive element which is attached to the second part and arranged so as to generate a force between the first and second parts of the driver by mutual reaction between a current applied thereto and the combination of the first and second magnetic fields.
