A lithographic apparatus comprises 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, a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate, and a sensor. The sensor (S) comprises a photodiode (2) provided on a face (8) of a semiconductor substrate (4) towards which the radiation beam is directed during operation of the lithographic apparatus, a first radiation blocking material (10) being provided around the photodiode on the face of the semiconductor substrate, and a second radiation blocking material (12) is provided on a side (14) of the semiconductor substrate upon which the radiation beam is incident during operation of the lithographic apparatus. |
