    摘要: Another approach to decrease the resolution is to introduce an immersion liquid having high refractive index into the gap that remains between a final lens element on the image side of the projection objective and the photoresist or another photosensitive layer to be exposed. Projection objectives that are designed for immersion operation and are therefore also referred to as immersion objective may reach numerical apertures of more than 1, for example 1.3 or 1.4. The term “immersion liquid” shall, in the context of this application, relate also to what is commonly referred to as “solid immersion”. In the case of solid immersion, the immersion liquid is in fact a solid medium that, however, does not get in direct contact with the photoresist but is spaced apart from it by a distance that is only a fraction of the wavelength used. This ensures that the laws of geometrical optics do not apply such that no total reflection occurs.

    摘要: The invention relates to a projection objective (6), in particular for applications in microlithography, serving to project an image of an object (3) arranged in an object plane (4) onto a substrate (18) arranged in an image plane (7). The projection objective (6) has an object-side-oriented part (10) which is arranged adjacent to the object plane (4) and includes a plurality of optical elements, and it also has an image-side-oriented part (11) of the objective which is arranged adjacent to the image plane (7) and includes a free space (16) serving to receive a fluid (13) and further includes at least a part of an optical end-position element (14) serving to delimit the free space (16) towards the object side. The projection objective (6) is operable in different modes of operation in which the free space (16) is filled with fluids (13) that differ in their respective indices of refraction.
