Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a load lock with temperature regulation, a lithography system equipped with a load lock, and a method for producing a substrate using the load lock. SOLUTION: An object, e.g. a substrate W, is transferred into/from a lithography system. Load lock outer walls 38 and 40 define at least a part of the load lock volume for containing support units 33 and 141 which support the object W when it is in the load lock. Furthermore, the load lock has a structure for temperature regulation to control the temperature of the object at least before it is transferred from the load lock toward the lithography system.
