    Abstract: A chuck, chuck control system, lithographic apparatus and method of using a chuck are disclosed. In an embodiment, there is provided a chuck (43) for use in holding a patterning device (MA) or a substrate (W) onto a supporting table (MT, WT) of a lithography apparatus (100) by electrostatic force, in which the patterning device is for imparting a radiation beam (B) with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam, and the substrate is for receiving the patterned radiation beam; said chuck comprising: a dielectric member (45); a temperature conditioning fluid channel (48) formed within the chuck; a drive electrode (40, 42) for applying a potential difference between the drive electrode and the patterning device or substrate across the dielectric member in order to electrostatically attract the patterning device or substrate towards the drive electrode; and a first shield electrode (60) for reducing or preventing the development of an electric field across temperature conditioning fluid in the temperature conditioning fluid channel due to a voltage applied to the drive electrode, in order to reduce or prevent electrolysis in the fluid.
