    Abstract: Chamber elements defining a chamber include a first element having a first surface, a second element, a first dynamic seal and load mechanism. The second element includes an outer floating element that includes a second surface about the periphery of the chamber, and an inner floating element. The second surface and the first surface are maintained proximate to each other when the chamber is in a load position and when the chamber is closed. The load mechanism may move the inner floating element from the outer floating element until a gap between the inner floating element and the second element to facilitate loading of the device to the chamber. A movement system may generate relative movement between the first element and the second element.

    Abstract: A system for coupling a mask to a mask holder. The system includes a base, an aperture; mask holder cover supporting elements arranged to move between a first position and a third position while supporting the mask holder cover; mask supporting elements arranged to move between a fourth position and a sixth position while supporting the mask; mask holder base supporting elements arranged to support the mask holder base. When the mask holder cover supporting elements are at the first position and the mask supporting elements are at the third position the mask holder cover, the mask and the base are spaced apart from each other. When the mask holder cover supporting elements are at the third position and the mask supporting elements are at the sixth position the mask holder cover, the mask and the base are connected to each other.
