Abstract: Designs are provided to reduce the possibility of contaminant particles with a large range of sizes, materials, travel speeds and angles of incidence reaching a particle-sensitive environment. According to an aspect of the disclosure, there is provided an object stage comprising first and second chambers, a first structure having a first surface, and a second structure. The second structure is configured to support an object in the second chamber, movable relative to the first structure. The second structure comprises a second surface opposing the first surface of the first structure thereby defining a gap between the first structure and the second structure that extends between the first chamber and the second chamber. The second structure further comprises a third surface within the first chamber. The object stage further comprises a trap disposed on at least a portion of the third surface, the trap comprising a plurality of baffles.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus that includes an illumination system that conditions a radiation beam, a first stationary plate having a first surface, and a reticle stage defining, along with the first stationary plate, a first chamber. The reticle stage supports a reticle in the first chamber, and the reticle stage includes a first surface spaced apart from a second surface of the first stationary plate, thereby defining a first gap configured to suppress an amount of contamination passing from a second chamber to the first chamber. The first stationary plate is between the reticle stage and both the illumination system and a projection system configured to project a pattern imparted to the radiation beam by the patterning device onto a substrate.

Abstract: A positioning system for positioning an object. The positioning system includes a stage, a balance mass and an actuator system. The stage is for holding the object. The actuator system is arranged to drive the stage in a first direction while driving the balance mass in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The stage is moveable in the first direction in a movement range. When the stage is moving in the first direction and is at an end of the movement range, the positioning system is arranged to collide the stage frontally into the balance mass.
