Abstract: A lithographic apparatus comprises a system. The system comprises a first part, a second part and an energy absorbing element. The second part is configured to move relatively to the first part. The system has a gap located between the first part and the second part during an operation mode of the system. The energy absorbing element is for absorbing energy between the first part and the second part when the first part and the second part crash onto each other in a failure mode of the system. The energy absorbing element is outside the gap.

Abstract: A substrate table system includes a substrate table and a dual directional motor for moving the substrate table in a plane of movement that is defined by a first direction and a second direction. The dual directional motor includes: a first pusher structure extending in the first direction, the substrate table being movable in respect of the first pusher structure, the first pusher structure and the substrate table being arranged to cooperate to form a first motor to exert a force between the first pusher structure and the substrate table in the first direction; and a second pusher structure extending in the first direction, the substrate table being movable in respect of the second pusher structure, the second pusher structure and the substrate table to cooperate to form a second motor to exert a force between the second pusher structure and the substrate table in the second direction.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus is provided. The lithographic apparatus includes a reticle and an electrostatic clamp configured to releasably hold the reticle. The electrostatic clamp includes a first substrate having opposing first and second surfaces, a plurality of burls located on the first surface and configured to contact the reticle, a second substrate having opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface of the second substrate is coupled to the second surface of the first substrate. A plurality of cooling elements are located between the first surface of the second substrate and the second surface of the first substrate. The cooling elements are configured to cause electrons to travel from the second surface of the first substrate to the first surface of the second substrate. Each cooling element is substantially aligned with a respective burl.

Abstract: A support apparatus for a lithographic apparatus has an object holder and an extraction body radially outward of the object holder. The object holder is configured to support an object. The extraction body includes an extraction opening configured to extract fluid from a top surface of the support apparatus. The extraction body is spaced from the object holder such that the extraction body is substantially decoupled from the object holder. The extraction body comprises a projection configured such that it surrounds the object holder and such that, in use, a layer of liquid is retained on the projection and in contact with an object supported on the object holder.

Abstract: An actuator includes coil assemblies arranged in an array, wherein each coil assembly defines a core chamber having a core chamber height; and at least one magnetic member that extends partly along the core chamber height of the core chamber of a corresponding at least one coil assembly, wherein the at least one magnetic member is made of a magnetic material. A shape of the at least one magnetic member, a size of the at least one magnetic member, a position of the at least one magnetic member and/or the magnetic material of the at least one magnetic member may be selected so as to control one or more parameters of the actuator.
