A lithographic apparatus operates by moving a substrate and a patterning device relative to each other in a sequence of movements such that a pattern is applied at a successive portions on the substrate. Each portion of the substrate is patterned by a scanning operation in which the patterning device is scanned through the radiation beam while synchronously scanning the substrate through the patte...
