Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0030172A2] The invention relates to system for receiving and retaining a substrate (17) in a light exposure device that is fitted with a handling system for the feeding of said substrate (17), an electrostatic chuck arrangement (1) for the retention of said substrate (17) during exposure to light, whereby said arrangement can be displaced in coordinates X, Y, and an exposure lens system from which corpuscular radiation is directed onto the surface of the substrate at a right angle, corresponding to coodinate Z. The inventive retention system is provided with at least one second electrostatic chuck arrangement (1) which, like the first chuck arrangement (1), is used to retain the substrate (17) during exposure to light and is provided with a bearing surface for said substrate, whereby the bearing surface of the second chuck arrangement (6) is, however, arranged in such a way that it can de displaced in the direction of coordinate Z. In terms of retention force, both chuck arrangements (1,6) are configured in such a way that the substrate (17) is maintained in a firm position when its placed on the first chuck arrangement (1) or solely on the second chuck arrangement (6).
