    摘要: To enable high acceleration and high moving speed of a pattern support or a substrate table of a lithographic apparatus, one of the pattern support and the substrate table is supported by an actuator for relatively large displacements, whereas an actuator for accurately positioning is omitted. The other one of the pattern support and the substrate table is supported by an actuator assembly including an actuator for accurate positioning and an actuator for relatively large displacements. An alignment accuracy of a patterning device and a substrate is achieved by providing a control system that is adapted to position the other one of the pattern support and the substrate table such that a positioning error of the one of the pattern support and the substrate table is compensated by the positioning of the other one.

    摘要: A stage system for a lithographic apparatus includes a stage, an over-determined number of actuators to act on the stage, at least two sensors to measure a position dependent parameter of the stage and to provide a respective sensor signal. The at least two sensors are arranged to measure the respective position dependent parameters in a same degree of freedom. A controller is provided to provide a controller output signal to at least one of the actuators in response to a setpoint and the position dependent parameter as measured by at least one of the sensors. A further controller is provided with the position dependent parameters measured by the sensors. The further controller is configured to determine a difference between the position dependent parameters from the sensors and to provide a further controller output signal to at least one of the actuators in response to the determined difference.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a movable part and a controller to control a position quantity of the movable part. The controller includes a first controller transfer function and a second controller transfer function. A selector selects the first controller transfer function or the second controller transfer function depending on a state of the movable part. The first controller transfer function may be chosen in a substantially stationary state of the movable part, while in a substantially non-stationary state of the movable part, the second controller transfer function may be chosen.
