Abstract
A lithographic apparatus is presented. The lithographic apparatus includes a beam splitter configured to split a radiation beam into a plurality of radiation beams; a substrate stage configured to support a substrate; a beam combiner adapted to redirect and combine at least a portion of the plurality of radiation beams to form an interference pattern on the substrate; and a control unit in communication with the substrate stage and a radiation source configured to output the beam of radiation, the control unit configured to synchronize a motion of the substrate stage with a repetition rate at which the beam of radiation is output by the radiation source.
