IPC: G03F7/20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a positioning system, including: a first actuator to exert an actuation force on a moveable body, the first actuator being coupled to a balance mass configured to absorb a reaction force resulting from the actuation force, the actuation force providing an acceleration of the moveable body and the reaction force providing an acceleration of the balance mass, wherein a force resulting from the acceleration of the moveable body together with a force resulting from the acceleration of the balance mass result in a balance mass torque; a balance mass support to support the balance mass onto a frame, which balance mass support engages the frame at a support position; and a torque compensator; wherein the torque compensator exerts a compensation force to compensate the balance mass torque, and wherein the torque compensator exerts the compensation force on the frame at the support position.

IPC: G03F7/20
Abstract: A projection system (PS1) for a lithographic apparatus comprises: an optical path (100); a plurality of sensors (S1-S4); one or more actuators (A1-A4); and a controller (CN). The optical path is operable to receive an input radiation beam (Bin) and to project an output radiation beam (Bout) onto a substrate to form an image. The optical path comprises: a plurality of optical elements (M1-M4), the plurality of optical elements comprising: a first set of at least two optical elements (M1, M4) and a second set of at least one optical element (M2, M3). Each sensor is associated with one of the plurality of optical elements and is operable to determine a position of that optical element. Each actuator is associated with one of the second set of optical elements and is operable to adjust that optical element. The controller is operable to use the one or more actuators to adjust the second set of optical elements in dependence on the determined position of the first set of optical elements so as to at least partially compensate for optical aberrations and/or line-of-sight errors caused by the positions of the first set of optical elements.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus having: a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate; a projection system configured to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate; a substrate surface actuator including a fluid opening for fluid flow therethrough from/onto a facing surface facing the substrate surface actuator to generate a force between the substrate surface actuator and the facing surface, the facing surface being a top surface of the substrate or a surface substantially co-planar with the substrate; and a position controller to control the position and/or orientation of a part of the facing surface by varying fluid flow through the fluid opening to displace the part of the facing surface relative to the projection system.

Abstract: An object positioning system including a movable object, an actuator system and a control system. The moveable object is moveable relative to a reference. The actuator system is configured to apply a force to the object at a force application location on the object in order to move the moveable object relative to the reference. The control system is configured to position a point of interest of the object relative to the reference. The control system is configured to drive the actuator system based on a parameter representing a spatial relationship between the force application location and the point of interest. The parameter is dependent on a further parameter representing a position of the object relative to the reference.
