    摘要: A lithographic apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a projection system configured to project a patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. The projection system includes a housing and a plurality of optical elements arranged in the housing. The apparatus also includes an inlet for feeding conditioned gas to the housing and a gas exhaust for exhausting the conditioned gas from the housing for providing a gas conditioned environment in the housing. At least one gate is provided for providing communication of the gas conditioned environment with ambient atmosphere. The gate is arranged to provide a predetermined leakage of the conditioned gas to the ambient atmosphere.

    摘要: In the case of a mounting apparatus, an optical element having an inner mount and an outer mount, in particular a lens in a projection lens system for semiconductor lithography, the inner mount is connected to the outer mount via three circumferentially distributed solid-state articulations. Manipulators, by means of which the inner mount can be displaced, act on the solid-state articulations. The solid-state articulations are T-shaped in cross section with a T-bar and a T-support. Attachment points between the inner mount and the outer mount are located in each case in the region of the outer ends of the T-bar. The manipulators act on the T-support in each case.
