Abstract

See full text

A long-stroke movement is fed-through into a vacuum chamber by providing a sliding seal over an aperture in the vacuum chamber wall. The object to be moved, which may be a mask or wafer table in a lithographic apparatus, within the vacuum chamber is connected to or mounted on the sliding seal and moved by movement of the sliding seal. The sliding seal may be a plate, a bowl or a labyrinth of interleaved plates.
