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 2):
The sensor arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the first excitation signal is an inverse of the second excitation signal.
