摘要:
A holding arrangement for an optical element, in particular for a cylindrical lens, includes a basic structure surrounding an optical element and a mounting device by which the optical element is supported on the basic structure. The mounting device has two degrees of freedom so that the optical element can be supported by the mounting device in a manner that allows the optical element to rotate about both about an optical axis and an axis perpendicular to the optical axis. If the optical element is a cylindrical lens, the axis perpendicular to the optical axis can be an axis perpendicular to an axial direction of the cylindrical lens. The disclosure further relates to a manipulator unit for an optical system which includes a holding arrangement.

A microlithographic projection exposure apparatus contains an illumination system for generating projection light and a projection lens with which a reticle that is capable of being arranged in an object plane of the projection lens can be imaged onto a light-sensitive layer that is capable of being arranged in an image plane of the projection lens. The projection lens is designed for immersion mode, in which a final lens element of the projection lens on the image side is immersed in an immersion liquid. A terminating element that is transparent in respect of the projection is fastened between the final lens element on the image side and the light-sensitive layer.

An imaging device in a projection exposure machine for microlithography includes at least one optical element and at least one manipulator, a linear drive for manipulating the position of the optical element. The linear drive has at least one moving element, the moving element having a shearing part and a lifting part. The shearing part is arranged to move the optical element and the lifting part is arranged to move the shearing part. The linear drive has a supporting element which is in contact with and prevents movement of the optical element while the shearing part is moved by the lifting part.
摘要:
In an apparatus for mounting two or more optical elements that are each held in an individual mount or in a support structure, said optical elements are mounted in a common mount. The relative positioning of the optical elements (10, 11) in the common mount (18) can be set.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for connection of an optical element to a mount structure, whereby in a first step the optical element is connected to the mount structure and in a second step the optical element is welded to the mount structure in the region of the connection.
摘要:
A catadioptric lens with optical elements, which are arranged along an optical axis and with at least one concave mirror located in the vicinity of a pupillar surface of the projection lens. The concave mirror is sub-divided into a number of annular or honeycomb mirror segments, which can be displaced independently in relation to one another with the aid of piezoelectric drive elements. The mirror can be used as a phase-shifting pupillar filter, whereby the filtration function can be adjusted by the relative displacement of the mirror elements in relation to one another.

In a holding and positioning apparatus for an optical element, the optical element is mounted in a mounting ring and the mounting ring is mounted via at least one manipulator unit. The manipulator unit has a linear actuating element. The manipulator unit has a manipulator head, a movable manipulator part and a manipulator foot, the manipulator head being connected to the movable manipulator part via a solid body joint. The movable manipulator part is connected to the manipulator foot via an actuator and at least one solid body joint, the linear actuating element being coupled to the manipulator foot and the actuator.

摘要:
An objective is provided with a plurality of lenses, mirrors and at least one beam splitter element (20) inserted in an objective housing (1). One or more surfaces (26, 27, 28), situated in the beam path, of the beam splitter element (20) are provided as correction aspherics. The beam splitter element (20) can be provided with manipulators (22) that are arranged on a manipulator carrier (23) which is permanently connected to the objective housing.
