Abstract: A system for controlling temperature of a patterning device in a lithographic apparatus is discussed. The system includes a patterning device support configured to support a patterning device and a reticle cooling system configured to provide substantially uniform temperature distribution across the patterning device. The reticle cooling system includes a first and second array of gas inlets configured to provide a first and second gas flow along a first and second direction across a surface of the patterning device, respectively, where first and second directions are opposite to each other. The reticle cooling system further includes a switching control system configured to control operation of the first and second arrays of gas inlets.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus is described that comprises a support structure to hold an object. The object may be a patterning device or a substrate to be exposed. The support structure comprises a chuck, on which the object is supported, and an array of shear-compliant elongated elements normal to the chuck and the stage, such that first ends of the elongated elements contact a surface of the chuck and second ends of the elongated elements contact a stage. Through using the array of elongated elements, a transfer of stress between the stage and the chuck is substantially uniform, resulting in minimization of slippage of the object relative to the surface of the chuck during a deformation of the chuck due to the stress.
