    Abstract: A micromirror array comprises a substrate, a plurality of minors for reflecting incident light and, for each mirror (20) of the plurality of minors, at least one piezoelectric actuator (21) for displacing the minor, wherein the at least one piezoelectric actuator is connected to the substrate. The micromirror array further comprises one or more pillars (24) connecting the minor to the at least one piezoelectric actuator. Also disclosed is a method of forming such a micromirror array. The micromirror array may be used in a programmable illuminator. The programmable illuminator may be used in a lithographic apparatus and/or in an inspection apparatus.
