Abstract

A lithographic apparatus arranged to transfer a pattern from a patterning structure onto a substrate is disclosed that includes a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate and a substrate temperature conditioner configured to condition a temperature of the substrate prior to, during, or both, a transfer of the substrate to the substrate holder to substantially match a temperature of the substrate holder.
