摘要:
The present invention relates to mirrors that comprise a reflecting coating for the EUV wavelength region and a substrate, a surface region of the substrate extending uniformly below the reflecting coating along this coating and, seen from the surface of the substrate, has a depth of down to 5 μm. Here, this surface region has a 2% higher density than the remaining substrate. Moreover, the invention relates to substrates that likewise have such surface regions. The invention further relates to methods for producing such mirrors and substrates having such surface regions by irradiation by means of ions or electrons.

The invention relates to a reflective optical element 39 for the EUV wavelength range comprising a layer arrangement applied on the surface of a substrate, wherein the layer arrangement comprises at least one layer subsystem 37 consisting of a periodic sequence of at least one period of individual layers, wherein the period comprises two individual layers having different refractive indices in the EUV wavelength range, wherein the substrate has a variation of the density of more than 1% by volume at least along an imaginary surface 30 at a fixed distance of between 0 μm and 100 μm from the surface, and wherein the substrate is protected against long-term ageing or densification by EUV radiation either by means of a protective layer or by means of a protective layer subsystem of the layer arrangement or by means of a correspondingly densified surface region 35 of the substrate. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such a reflective optical element. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for correcting such a reflective optical element, and to a projection lens comprising such an optical element, and to a projection exposure apparatus comprising such a projection lens.
