    摘要: A lithographic apparatus has a patterning support holding a patterning device. At least one position sensor measures a position of the patterning device relative to the patterning support, and generates a measuring signal. A positioning device controls a position of the patterning support on the basis of the measuring signal input to the positioning device. In a corresponding device manufacturing method a patterning support is provided. A patterning device is held on the patterning support. The patterning support is moved along a line of movement. A position of the patterning device relative to the patterning support is measured, and a position of the patterning support is controlled on the basis of the measurement of the position of the patterning device relative to the patterning support. Thus, the controlling of the position of the patterning support compensates for a slip of the patterning device relative to the patterning support.

    摘要: A system and a method for aligning two devices with respect to each other are presented. A first of the devices is provided with a proximity switch and the second of the two devices may be provided with a reference mark. When the other device enters a detection area of the proximity switch, a first state of the proximity switch changes to a second state. Thus, the transition from the first state to the second state is a measure of a position of the second device with respect to the proximity switch. When the position of the second device is known with respect to the proximity switch, the devices may be positioned to a desired position with respect to each other. The proximity switch may be used to determine the position of the other device in a number of directions. Both the position and the orientation, i.e. rotation, of the first device with respect to the second device may be determined using the proximity switch.

    摘要: A servo control system to control a position of an object supported by a movable support includes a first measurement system to measure a position of the movable support, a comparative device to provide an error signal based on the comparison between a measured movable support position and a desired movable support position, a controller unit to provide a control signal based on the error signal, and an actuator configured to actuate the movable support based on the control signal. The servo control system further includes a slip compensation device to compensate a slip between the object and the movable support, the slip compensation device including a second measurement system to measure an object position with respect to the movable support, and an addition device to add a slip compensation signal to the measured movable support position or the error signal based on the measured object position.

    摘要: A device manufacturing method includes transferring a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate. The method includes bringing the patterning device and the support together, and applying a substantially stationary force between the patterning device and the support to hold the patterning device. The patterning device is now excited by a substantially dynamic force to enable a micro slipping thereof. Then, the patterning device is aligned, and the pattern is transferred from the patterning device onto the substrate. The patterning device may be excited with an alternating acceleration. When the patterning device is excited, the patterning device is allowed to settle with respect to the support, thereby improving a friction therebetween to reduce a risk of slipping or local slipping of the patterning device.
