    摘要: A projection optical system comprises a plurality of lenses disposed along an optical axis of the projection optical system; wherein the plurality of lenses is dividable into four non-overlapping groups of lenses, such that a total refractive power of each group of lenses is one of a negative refractive power and a positive refractive power; and wherein a refractive power of each lens of the fourth group of lenses is equal to or greater than 0. A lens of the third group of lenses which is disposed directly adjacent to a lens of the fourth group of lenses may have a concave surface facing towards the second object.

    摘要: A catadioptric projection objective for imaging a pattern provided in an object plane of the projection objective onto an image plane of the projection objective comprises: a first objective part for imaging the pattern provided in the object plane into a first intermediate image; a second objective part for imaging the first intermediate imaging into a second intermediate image; a third objective part for imaging the second intermediate imaging directly onto the image plane; wherein a first concave mirror having a first continuous mirror surface and at least one second concave mirror having a second continuous mirror surface are arranged upstream of the second intermediate image; pupil surfaces are formed between the object plane and the first intermediate image, between the first and the second intermediate image and between the second intermediate image and the image plane; and all concave mirrors are arranged optically remote from a pupil surface. The system has potential for very high numerical apertures at moderate lens material mass consumption.

    摘要: The invention features a system for microlithography that includes a mercury light source configured to emit radiation at multiple mercury emission lines, a projection objective positioned to receive radiation emitted by the mercury light source, and a stage configured to position a wafer relative to the projection objective. During operation, the projection objective directs radiation from the light source to the wafer, where the radiation at the wafer includes energy from more than one of the emission lines. Optical lens systems for use in said projection objective comprise four lens groups, each having two lenses comprising silica, the first and second lens groups on one hand and the third and fourth lens groups on the other hand are positioned symmetrically with respect to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of said lens system.

    摘要: An illumination system (12) of a microlithographic exposure apparatus (10) comprises a condenser (601; 602; 603; 604; 605; 606) for transforming a pupil plane (54) into a field plane (62). The condenser has a lens group (L14, L15, L16, L17; L24, L25, L26, L27, L28; L34, L35, L36, L37; L44, L45, L46; L53, L54, L55) that contains a plurality of consecutive lenses. These lenses are arranged such that a light bundle (70) focused by the condenser (601; 602; 603; 604; 605) on an on-axis field point (72) converges within each lens of the lens group. At least one lens (L15, L16, L17; L25, L26; L34, L44, L45; L54) of the lens group has a concave surface. The illumination system may further comprise a field stop objective (66; 666, 666′) that at least partly corrects a residual pupil aberration of the condenser (601; 602; 603; 604; 605; 606).

    摘要: A catadioptric projection objective is used to project a pattern arranged in an object plane of the projection objective into an image plane of the projection objective with the formation of at least one real intermediate image and has an image-side numerical aperture NA>0.7. The projection objective comprises an optical axis and at least one catadioptric objective part that comprises a concave mirror and a first folding mirror. There are a first beam section running from the object plane to the concave mirror and a second beam section running from the concave mirror to the image plane. The first folding mirror is arranged with reference to the concave mirror in such a way that one of the beam sections is folded at the first folding mirror and the other beam section passes the first folding mirror without vignetting, the first beam section and the second beam section crossing one another in a cross-over region.
