Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for performing a measurement operation on a substrate in accordance with one or more substrate alignment models. The one or more substrate alignment models are selected from a plurality of candidate substrate alignment models. The apparatus, which may be a lithographic apparatus, includes an external interface which enables selection of the substrate alignment model(s) and/or alteration of the substrate alignment model(s) prior to the measurement operation.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus has: a conduit through which a gas can flow; a gas mover configured to cause the gas to flow in the conduit; a wall in contact with the gas in the conduit and defining a membrane aperture therein; and an acoustic filter including a flexible membrane fixed in the membrane aperture. The acoustic filter reduces transmission of acoustic disturbances without adding any flow resistance.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus including a support to support a patterning device, a substrate table to hold a substrate, and a projection system to project a radiation beam patterned by the patterning device onto a target portion of the substrate. A transparent layer is provided to protect the pattering device. The apparatus further includes a transparent layer deformation-determining device to determine a deformation profile of the transparent layer, the deformation profile of the transparent layer expressing a deformation of the transparent layer during a scanning movement of the lithographic apparatus, and a compensator device which is configured to control the projection system, the substrate table and/or the support in response to the deformation profile of the transparent layer to compensate for the deformation of the transparent layer during the scanning movement of the apparatus.
