Abstract
The invention relates to a substrate holding device comprising a holding plate, a base plate, an array of supports, and an array of droplets of a heat absorbing material. The holding plate comprises a first side for holding a substrate. The base plate is arranged at a distance from the holding plate and provides a gap between the base plate and the holding plate at a side of the holding plate opposite to the first side. The array of supports is arranged in between the holding plate and the base plate. The array of liquid and/or solid droplets is arranged in between the holding plate and the base plate, and the droplets are arranged to contact both the base plate and the holding plate. The droplets are arranged spaced apart from each other and from the supports, and are arranged adjacent to each other in a direction along the gap.
