    摘要: An optical element unit including a first optical element module and a sealing arrangement is disclosed. The first optical element module occupies a first module space and includes a first module component of a first component type and an associated second module component of a second component type. The first component type is optical elements and the second component type being different from the first component type. The sealing arrangement separates the first module space into a first space and a second space and substantially prevents, at least in a first direction, the intrusion of substances from one of the first space and the second space into the other one of the first space and the second space. The first module component at least partially contacts the first space and, at least in its area optically used, not contacting the second space. The second module component at least partially contacts the second space.

    摘要: There is provided an optical element module comprising a first optical element and an optical element holder. The first optical element has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The optical element holder holds the first optical element and has a second coefficient of thermal expansion, the second coefficient of thermal expansion being adapted to the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The optical element is directly contacting the optical element holder in a wide contact area. The contact area is defined by a first contact surface of the first optical element and a second contact surface of the optical element holder, wherein the second contact surface matches the first contact surface. Thus, favorable rigidity and deformation behavior is provided.

    摘要: The invention relates to a projection exposure system for microlithography, said system comprising an illumination device for generating a projection light, and a projection objective comprising a plurality of optical elements such as lenses (L5) and enabling a reticle that can be arranged in an object plane of the projection objective to be imaged onto a light-sensitive surface (26) that can be arranged in an image plane of the projection objective and is applied to a carrier (30). The inventive system is also provided with an immersion device between an image-side last optical element (L5) of the projection objective and the light-sensitive surface (26), for introducing an immersion liquid (34) into an immersion chamber (50). Said immersion device comprises means (44; 66) which can prevent the appearance of gas bubbles (48) in the immersion liquid (34), affecting the imaging quality, and/or can remove existing gas bubbles (48). Said means can be, for example, an ultrasound source (66) or a degasifier (44).
