ABSTRACT:
A positioning device includes a table (101, 213) guided by a carriage (15, 199), the carriage (15, 199) being displaceable in two coordinate directions (X, Y) with respect to the base (3) and the table (101, 213) being displaceable with respect to the carriage (15, 199) in the same coordinate directions (X, Y) solely by Lorentz forces, while in a third coordinate direction (Z) the position of the table (101, 213) is determined by a static gas bearing. The two-step positioning device is particularly suitable for use in opto-lithographic devices.
