Abstract:
1. A lithographic apparatus comprising: a support constructed to support a patterning device, the patterning device being capable of imparting a radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam; a substrate table comprising a substrate holder constructed and arranged to hold a substrate, the substrate table, in use, being movable in a plane substantially parallel with a top surface of the substrate; and a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate, wherein the substrate table comprises a bearing configured to support the substrate holder, the bearing allowing the substrate holder to float with respect to the substrate table, wherein the substrate holder is connected to the substrate table with at least one physical connection, and wherein the at least one physical connection comprises a flexure that holds the substrate holder movably in a radial direction of the substrate with respect to the substrate table.
