ABSTRACT:
A control system to control a position of a substrate table for a lithographic apparatus, including: a first detection device to generate a position signal representative of the position of the projection system, a second detection device to generate a projection system feed-forward signal, a comparative unit to generate a servo error signal by subtracting a signal representative of an actual substrate table position from a substrate table position reference signal and adding the projection system position signal, a control unit to generate a first control signal on the basis of the servo error signal, an addition unit to generate a second control signal by adding the feed-forward signal and the first control signal, and an actuator unit to actuate the substrate table to a desired substrate table position on the basis of the second control signal. The control system further includes a projection system position signal filter unit.
