| Summary: | A lithographic apparatus is disclosed that has a movable article support configured to hold and move an article, a radiation control system configured to control a beam of radiation to be targeted onto the article, the article support, or both, the article to be moved relatively to the radiation control system by the movable article support for measurement, exposure, or both purposes, and a pressure shield that is mechanically uncoupled from the radiation control system to shield against pressure waves induced by the article support so as to help prevent displacement of the radiation control system caused by the pressure waves. |
