Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus includes a measurement system to measure the position and/or movement of a substrate support relative to a reference frame. The measurement system includes a target mounted to one of the substrate support and the reference frame, a radiation source mounted to the other one of the substrate support and the reference frame and a sensor configured to detect a pattern of radiation propagating from the target, indicating the position or movement of the substrate support. The substrate support includes one or more gas outlets configured to provide a flow of gas that encapsulates the volume of space through which the beam of radiation propagates to the target.
