Abstract:
The disclosure provides a sensor arrangement for sensing a position of an optical element in a lithography system. The sensor arrangement includes: a first capacitive sensor device having a position-dependent variable first sensor capacitance that can be sensed using a first excitation signal; a second capacitive sensor device having a position-dependent variable second sensor capacitance that can be sensed using a second excitation signal; and a control device configured to produce the first and second excitation signals so that charges present on a parasitic capacitance associable with the first sensor device are at least partially compensated for by charges that are present on a parasitic capacitance associable with the second sensor device via a signal path outside the first and/or the second excitation signal path.

Claim (Index 12):
The sensor arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein at least one sensor device selected from the group consisting of the first sensor device and the second sensor device comprises:\n first and second capacitor elements fixed relative to one another; and a third capacitor element movable relative to the first and second capacitor elements, wherein the sensor capacitance appears between the first and second capacitor elements based on a position of the capacitor elements relative to each other, and the sensor capacitance is sensible via the excitation signal which is coupleable to the first and second capacitor elements via supply lines.
