    摘要: The present invention relates to a lithographic projection apparatus comprising a housing, which comprises therein a first exposure system that has at least one movable part, e.g. a movable first substrate holder, or a movable second substrate holder in a twin stage apparatus. The system is further provided with position disturbance correction system for correcting a position of the first substrate holder with respect to the patterned projection beam due to the influence of gas pressure differences or gas movements, caused by movements of the movable part. The invention also generally relates to a device manufacturing method comprising providing a lithographic projection apparatus according to the invention with a first substrate, and exposing said first substrate, wherein during said exposing of the first substrate a position thereof is corrected by means of position disturbance correction system.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a first movable element (such as an immersion liquid supply system), which is in operation in contact with a surface of a second movable element (such as a substrate table). Further, the lithographic apparatus includes a second element controller (such as a substrate table controller) to control a position quantity of the second movable element. Disturbance forces caused by, e.g., movements of the first and second movable elements with respect to each other, due to capillary forces disturb a position of the first and second movable elements. To at least partly correct a position of the second movable element due to such disturbance forces, the lithographic apparatus includes a feedforward control path to provide a disturbance force feedforward signal to the second element controller, the feedforward control path including a disturbance force estimator to estimate a disturbance force from a position quantity of the first movable element.

    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system to condition a radiation beam. A patterning support holds a patterning device that imparts the radiation beam with a pattern to form a patterned radiation beam. A substrate support holds a substrate. A projection system projects the patterned radiation beam onto the substrate. A positioning system positions the patterning support and the substrate support. The positioning system has a motor with a stator and a mover coupled to a support, and an associated motor control system with a controller providing an output for controlling currents applied to the motor. The motor control system determines a controller output required to compensate for a weight of mover and associated support, determines a deviation of this output from an output required to compensate the gravity force acting on the mover and associated support, and corrects the currents applied to the motor based on the deviation.
