Patent number: 8614786Abstract: A robot positions a workpiece within a vacuum chamber of a lithographic apparatus. A first component of the robot is located within a vacuum chamber to position a workpiece along a translational axis. A shaft supports the first component such that an axis of symmetry of the shaft is perpendicular to the translational axis, and a second component rotates the shaft about the axis of symmetry and moves the shaft in a direction parallel to the axis of symmetry. The second component includes a gas bearing configured to introduce gas along a circumferential surface of the shaft and a scavenging seal configured to evacuate the gas introduced by the second component gas bearing. The robot substantially reduces, or eliminates the out-gassing of hydrocarbon molecules in a range from about 0 to 200 a.m.u., thus rendering the robot suitable for use in extreme ultra-violet (EUV) photolithography applications.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2009Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Robert Gabriël Maria Lansbergen, George Hilary Harrold, Matthew James Van Doren
