Abstract
Methods and systems are described for cleaning a support such as a clamp of a chuck that holds a patterning device or a wafer in a lithographic apparatus. The method includes loading a electrostatic cleaning substrate into a lithographic apparatus. The electrostatic cleaning substrate includes at least one electrode. The method further includes bringing the electrostatic cleaning substrate near to the clamping surface to be cleaned and connecting the electrode to a voltage source. Particles present on the support are then transferred to the electrostatic cleaning substrate.
