The fan housing has a plurality of coils, a control unit, and at least one globe-shaped attractor, with the at least one globe-shaped attractor being made of conductive magnetic material and arranged between adjacent two of the coils. The rotor has a permanent magnet ring facing the coils of the fan housing and having at least one pair of opposite magnetic poles, with each magnetic pole providing a high-intensity area. Consequently, one of the high-intensity areas is attracted by and faces the at least one globe-shaped attractor when the rotor is held at a stop position.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a movable object and a control system to control the position of the movable object. The control system includes a position measurement system configured to measure the position of the movable object, a comparative unit configured to generate a servo error signal by subtracting a position signal representative of an actual position of the movable object from a reference signal, a control unit configured to generate a first control signal based on the servo error signal, a feed-forward unit configured to generate a feed-forward signal based on the reference signal, an addition unit configured to generate a second control signal by adding the first control signal and the feed-forward signal, and an actuator unit configured to actuate the movable object. A gain of the feed-forward unit is dependent on the position of the movable object.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a movable part and a controller to control a position quantity of the movable part. The controller includes a first controller transfer function and a second controller transfer function. A selector selects the first controller transfer function or the second controller transfer function depending on a state of the movable part. The first controller transfer function may be chosen in a substantially stationary state of the movable part, while in a substantially non-stationary state of the movable part, the second controller transfer function may be chosen.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system for conditioning a radiation beam. A support structure supports a patterning device, which is capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam. A substrate table holds a substrate. A projection system projects the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. A motion control system includes a controller having a transfer function. The controller controls a position of the support structure and or the substrate table along a series of positions. The transfer function consists of a sum of a plurality of positional transfer functions, each determined in one of the positions, and each multiplied by a weighing function.

Abstract: In a lithographic projection apparatus and a device manufacturing method, a movable part is controlled to produce a motion, an absolute value of at least one of a fourth and a higher derivative to time of the position of the motion being limited to less than a maximal value. Specifying at least one of a fourth and a higher derivative to time of the position may help to improve settling behavior to obtain more accurate positioning.
