Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system constructed and arranged to condition a radiation beam, and a support constructed and arranged to support a patterning device. The patterning device is capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam. The apparatus also includes a substrate table constructed and arranged to hold a substrate, and a projection system constructed and arranged to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The substrate table includes a plurality of projections constructed and arranged to support corresponding parts of a bottom section of the substrate, and an actuator constructed and arranged to excite a shockwave in the substrate.
