Abstract

See full text

A lithographic apparatus includes a reflector to redirect a radiation beam, e.g. an EUV beam. The position of the reflector is controlled using a controller and a positioning system. The positioning system includes a non-compensating actuator device and a compensating actuator device to compensate for parasitic forces of the non-compensating actuator device. The positioning system and controller can provide a more accurate position of the reflector, reduce deformation of the reflector and reduce the magnitude of forces transmitting through the reflector.
