    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system to condition a radiation beam. A patterning support holds a patterning device that imparts the radiation beam with a pattern to form a patterned radiation beam. A substrate support holds a substrate. A projection system projects the patterned radiation beam onto the substrate. A positioning system positions the patterning support and the substrate support. The positioning system has a motor with a stator and a mover coupled to a support, and an associated motor control system with a controller providing an output for controlling currents applied to the motor. The motor control system determines a controller output required to compensate for a weight of mover and associated support, determines a deviation of this output from an output required to compensate the gravity force acting on the mover and associated support, and corrects the currents applied to the motor based on the deviation.

    摘要: An actuator assembly includes a coil moveably positionable in a magnetic field generated by a magnet assembly, each of the coil and the magnet having substantially only one side facing the other. A magnetized field-shaping element is provided for shaping the magnetic field such that the magnetic field is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the electrical current for generating a force in a first degree of freedom. Thus, the coil may easily be mounted, since it does not need to be enclosed by magnet poles.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a Lorentz actuator in the context of a lithographic projection apparatus. The present invention improves the thermal performance of a Lorentz actuator over the prior art by employing a plurality of coils, separated by separation layers of high thermal conductivity material in good thermal contact with a cooling element. In this way, heat flows more quickly from hotspot regions near the center of the coils into the cooling element. According to an embodiment of the invention, the cooling element is arranged to be in line with the separation layers so as to optimize the thermal connection between these two members. It is found that splitting a parent coil into two coils provides a practical balance between improved thermal performance and undesirable increases in volume and complexity.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a support that provides a magnetic force in a first direction between a first part and a second part of the apparatus. The support comprises first, second and third magnet assemblies, the first and third magnet assemblies attached to the first part and each including at least one magnet oriented such that its magnetic polarization is substantially parallel or anti-parallel to the support direction. The first and third magnet assemblies define a space between them in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The second magnet assembly is attached to the second part and includes at least one magnet. The second magnet assembly is at least partly located in the space. The at least one magnet of the second magnet assembly has its magnetic polarization oriented so as to produce a bias force substantially along the support direction by magnetic interaction between the first, second and third magnet assemblies.
