    摘要: Objective (1, 601), in particular a projection objective for a microlithography projection apparatus, with first birefringent lenses (L108, L109, L129, L130) and with second birefringent lenses (L101–L107, L110–L128). The first lenses (L108, L109, L129, L130) are distinguished from the second lenses (L101–L107, L110–L128) by the lens material used or by the material orientation. After passing through the first lenses (L108, L109, L129, L130) and the second lenses (L101–L107, L110–L128), an outer aperture ray (5, 7) and a principal ray (9) are subject to optical path differences for two mutually orthogonal states of polarization. The difference between these optical path differences is smaller than 25% of the working wavelength. In at least one first lens (L129, L130), the aperture angle of the outer aperture ray (5, 7) is at least 70% of the largest aperture angle occurring for said aperture ray in all of the first lenses (L108, L109, L129, L130) and second lenses (L101–L107, L110–L128). This arrangement has the result that the first lenses (L108, L109, L129, L130) have a combined material volume of no more than 20% of the combined total material volume of the first lenses (L108, L109, L129, L130) and second lenses (L101–L107, L110–L128).

    摘要: A projection objective for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus. The projection objective can project an image of a mask that can be set in position in an object plane onto a light-sensitive coating layer that can be set in position in an image plane. The projection objective can be designed to operate in an immersion mode, and it can produce at least one intermediate image. The projection objective can include an optical subsystem on the image-plane side which projects the intermediate image into the image plane with an image-plane-side projection ratio having an absolute value of at least 0.3.
