Zusammenfassung:A substrate support, configured to support a substrate during a process within a lithography system, includes a lifting structure configured to move the substrate between a first position, in which a lifting face of the lifting structure supports the substrate at a position set apart from a support surface of the substrate support, and a second position, in which the lifting structure does not prevent the substrate from being supported by a support surface of the substrate support; wherein, in moving between the first and second positions, the substrate moves in a combination of movement substantially perpendicular to a plane parallel to the support surface and movement substantially parallel to the support surface.
