    摘要: A projection objective of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus has a correction device which can correct photoinduced imaging errors without optical elements having to be removed for this purpose. The correction device includes a first optical element and a second optical element, whose surface facing the first optical element is provided with a local surface deformation for improving the imaging properties of the projection objective. In a wall, which seals an intermediate space formed between the first optical element and the second optical element, an opening is provided through which the intermediate space can be filled with a fluid. By modifying the refractive index of the fluid adjacent to the surface, the effect of the surface deformation can be modified in a straightforward way.

    摘要: A projection objective suitable for immersion microlithography is designed as a single-waist system with five lens groups, and has a first lens group of negative refractive power, a second lens group of positive refractive power, a third lens group of negative refractive power, a fourth lens group of positive refractive power and a fifth lens group of positive refractive power. The fourth lens group has an entrance surface (E) that lies in the vicinity of a point of inflection of a marginal ray height between the third lens group (LG3) and the fourth lens group (LG4). No negative lens of substantial refractive power is arranged between the entrance surface and the system diaphragm (5). Embodiments of inventive projection objectives achieve a very high numerical aperture NA>1 in conjunction with a large image field and are distinguished by a compact design size. For working wavelengths below 200 nm, structural widths of substantially under 100 nm can be resolved when use is made of immersion fluids between the projection objective and substrate.

        摘要: A projection objective of a projection exposure apparatus for microlithography serves for imaging an object arranged in an object plane onto a light-sensitive wafer in an image plane. The projection objective has a plurality of optical elements which have at least one reflective element and at least one refractive element. The plurality of optical elements lie, in the light propagation direction of the useful light, downstream of the reflective element on a common straight optical axis. The at least one reflective element has a substrate having at least one opening through which light beams can pass. The at least one reflective element is at least partly made from a material which suppresses stray light impinging on the reflective element rearward.
