    Abstract: An apparatus (AS) measures positions of marks (202) on a lithographic substrate (W). A measurement optical system comprises illumination subsystem (504) for illuminating the mark with a spot of radiation (206) and as detecting subsystem (580) for detecting radiation diffracted by the mark. The substrate and measurement optical system move relative to one another at a first velocity (vW) so as to scan the mark while synchronously moving the spot of radiation relative to the reference frame (RF) of the measurement optical system at a second velocity (vSPOT). The spot scans the mark at a third velocity (vEFF) which is lower than the first velocity to allow more time for accurate position measurements to be acquired. In one embodiment, an objective lens (524) remains fixed in relation to the reference frame while a moving optical element (562) imparts the movement of the radiation spot relative to the reference frame.

    Abstract: A lithography apparatus comprises a projection system arranged to transfer a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate, a carrier, and a drive system for moving the carrier relative to the projection system in a plane defined by reference to orthogonal axes X and Y. The drive system comprises a shuttle moving parallel to the Y-axis, a shuttle connector connecting the shuttle to the carrier, the shuttle connector allowing movement of the carrier in a direction parallel to the X-axis relative to the shuttle, and a shuttle driver for driving movement of the shuttle parallel to the Y-axis. The shuttle is located to one side of the carrier in a direction parallel to the X-axis and it is desirable if only one of the shuttle is connected to the carrier.
