    摘要: A very-high aperture, purely refractive projection objective is designed as a two-belly system with an object-side belly, an image-side belly and a waist (7) situated therebetween. The system diaphragm (5) is seated in the image-side belly at a spacing in front of the image plane. Arranged between the waist and the system diaphragm in the region of divergent radiation is a negative group (LG5) which has an effective curvature with a concave side pointing towards the image plane. The system is distinguished by a high numerical aperture, low chromatic aberrations and compact, material-saving design.

    摘要: A refractive projection objective for use in microlithography with lenses made exclusively of one and the same material has an image-side numerical aperture larger than 0.7. A light bundle defined by the image-side numerical aperture and by the image field has within the objective a variable light-bundle diameter smaller than or equal to a maximum light-bundle diameter. In a length interval measured on the optical axis from the system diaphragm towards the object field and at least equaling the maximum light-bundle diameter, the variable light-bundle diameter exceeds 85% of the maximum light-bundle diameter.
