    摘要: An optical assembly includes an optical element (13), configured in particular for the reflection of EUV radiation (4), and a protective element (30) for protecting a surface (31) of the optical element (13, 14) from contaminating substances (P). The protective element (30) has a membrane (33a-c) and a frame (34) on which the membrane (33a-c) is mounted. The membrane is formed by a plurality of membrane segments (33a, 33b, 33c) which respectively protect a partial region (T) of the surface (31) of the optical element (13) from the contaminating substances (P). The optical assembly can form part of an overall optical arrangement, for example an EUV lithography system.

    摘要: To prevent reflective optical elements (2) for EUV lithography from getting electrically charged as they are irradiated with EUV radiation (4), an optical system for EUV lithography is proposed, comprising a reflective optical element (2), including a substrate (21) with a highly reflective coating (22) emitting secondary electrons when irradiated with EUV radiation (4), and a source (3) of electrically charged particles, which is arranged in such a manner that electrically charged particles can be applied to the reflective optical element (2), wherein the source (3) is a flood gun applying electrons to the reflective optical element (2) as only means for charge carrier compensation.
