  • Electrostatic clamp, lithographic apparatus and method of manufacturing an electrostatic clamp
    Patent number: 9348236
    Abstract: An electrostatic clamp for use in a lithographic apparatus includes burls and an electrode surrounded by an insulator and/or a dielectric material between adjacent burls. In an embodiment, two or more layers of dielectric material are provided between adjacent burls and surround an electrode provided between adjacent burls. The electrostatic clamp may be used to clamp an object to an object support in a lithographic apparatus.
