Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an object holder for use in a lithographic apparatus, the object holder including one or more electrically functional components, the method including: using a composite structure including a carrier sheet different from a main body of the object holder and a layered structure including one or a plurality of layers and formed on the carrier sheet; connecting the composite structure to a surface of the main body such that the layered structure is between the carrier sheet and the surface of the main body; and removing the carrier sheet from the composite structure, leaving the layered structure connected to the main body.
Abstract:
A height measurement apparatus comprising an array of differential pressure sensors, each differential pressure sensor comprising a reference outlet and a measurement outlet, the reference outlet being a predetermined distance from a reference surface, and each differential pressure sensor further comprising an inlet configured to provide pressurized gas for the reference outlet and the measurement outlet. A flexible membrane is positioned such that a reference side of the flexible membrane is in fluid communication with the reference outlet and a measurement side of the flexible membrane is in fluid communication with the measurement outlet. The flexible membrane is configured to move when a pressure change occurs at the measurement outlet and a detector is configured to monitor the movement of the flexible membrane.
