摘要:
A purely refractive projection objective suitable for immersion micro-lithography is designed as a single-waist system with five lens groups, in the case of which a first lens group with a negative refracting power, a second lens group with a positive refracting power, a third lens group with a negative refracting power, a fourth lens group with a positive refracting power and a fifth lens group with a positive refracting power are provided. The system aperture is in the region of maximum beam diameter between the fourth and the fifth lens group. Embodiments of projection objectives according to the invention achieve a very high numerical aperture of NA>1 in conjunction with a large image field, and are distinguished by a good optical correction state and moderate overall size. Pattern widths substantially below 100 nm can be resolved when immersion fluids are used between the projection objective and substrate in the case of operating wavelengths below 200 nm.

A projection exposure apparatus for the exposure of a radiation-sensitive substrate arranged in the region of an image surface of a projection objective with at least one image of a pattern of a mask that is arranged in the region of an object surface of the projection objective has a light source for emitting ultraviolet light from a wavelength band having a bandwidth Δλ>10 pm around a central operating wavelength λ>200 nm; an illumination system for receiving the light from the light source and for directing illumination radiation onto the pattern of the mask; and a projection objective for the imaging of the structure of the mask onto a light-sensitive substrate. The projection objective is a catadioptric projection objective having at least one concave mirror arranged in a region of a pupil surface of the projection objective, and a negative group having at least one negative lens arranged in direct proximity to the concave mirror in a region near the pupil surface, where a marginal ray height (MRH) of the imaging is greater than a chief ray height (CRH).
