Abstract
A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam; a support constructed to support a patterning device, the patterning device being capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam; a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate; and a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate. The substrate table and/or the support may be provided with an accelerometer to measure an acceleration of the substrate table and/or the support and the apparatus is provided with a calculator in communication with the accelerometer to calculate an acceleration based position signal from the acceleration measured by the accelerometer.
