SUBSTRATE HOLDER, LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SUBSTRATE HOLDER.

摘要

A substrate holder for a lithographic apparatus has a planarization layer provided on a surface thereof. The planarization layer provides a smooth surface for the formation of an electronic component such as a thin film electronic component. The planarization layer may be provided in multiple sub layers. The planarization layer may smooth over roughness caused by removal of material from a blank to form burls on the substrate holder.
