    摘要: An imaging optics has at least six mirrors, which image an object field in an object plane in an image field in an image plane. An entry pupil of the imaging optics is arranged in the imaging beam path in front of the object field. At least one of the mirrors has a through-opening for the passage of imaging light. A mechanically accessible pupil, in which an obscuration stop is arranged for the central shading of the pupil of the imaging optics, is located in a pupil plane in the imaging beam path between the object field and a first of the through-openings. A first imaging part beam directly after a second mirror in the imaging beam path after the object field and a second imaging part beam directly after a fourth mirror in the imaging beam path after the object field intersect one another in an intersection region. The result is an imaging optics, in which a handleable combination of small imaging errors, manageable production and a good throughput for the imaging light is achieved.

    摘要: An imaging optics includes a plurality of mirrors which reflect imaging light to image an object field in an object plane into an image field in an image plane. A mirror body of at least one of the mirrors has a through-opening for the imaging light to pass through. The through-opening has an internal region of a smallest opening width in the mirror body. The through-opening expands from the internal region towards both edge regions of the mirror body. A disturbing influence of unused light portions is reduced or eliminated completely.

    摘要: An optical system is disclosed that includes a plurality of elements arranged to image radiation at a wavelength λ from an object field in an object surface to an image field in an image surface. The elements include mirror elements have a reflective surface formed by a reflective coating positioned at a path of radiation. At least one of the mirror elements has a rotationally asymmetrical reflective surface deviating from a best-fit rotationally symmetric reflective surface by about λ or more at one or more locations. The elements include an apodization correction element effective to correct a spatial intensity distribution in an exit pupil of the optical system relative to the optical system without the apodization correcting element. The apodization correction element can be effective to increase symmetry of the spatial intensity distribution in the exit pupil relative to the optical system without the apodization correcting element.

    摘要: An imaging optical unit includes at least four mirrors to image an object field in an object plane into an image field in an image plane. The ratio of the structural length of the imaging optical unit to the imaging scale of the imaging optical unit is less than 4.9 mm. The imaging optical unit provides improved handling properties, such as, for example, when used in a metrology system.

    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.
