PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of effectively compensating an inclination between a substrate and a support structure or a misregistration including a displacement in the vertical direction when the substrate is moved by the support structure in a lithographic projection apparatus. SOLUTION: By providing a support structure for holding and moving a substrate (W), for example, flexible sections (14, 26) in a support frame (18) of a robot arm (10), it can be adapted to the tilt and/or a displacement in the vertical direction. Clamps (20, 22, 24) provided on the support frame (18) may be a Johnson-Raybeck effect type clamp, which requires the severe position accuracy, and can perform a cleaning treatment in a projection apparatus by only one substrate.
