    摘要: A catadioptric projection objective for projecting a pattern arranged in the object plane of the projection objective into the image plane of the projection objective, having: a first objective part for projecting an object field lying in the object plane into a first real intermediate image; a second objective part for generating a second real intermediate image with the radiation coming from the first objective part; a third objective part for generating a third real intermediate image with the radiation coming from the second objective part; and a fourth objective part for projecting the third real intermediate image into the image plane.

    摘要: A microlithographic projection exposure apparatus contains an illumination system (12) for generating projection light (13) and a projection lens (20; 220; 320; 420; 520; 620; 720; 820; 920; 1020; 1120) with which a reticle (24) that is capable of being arranged in an object plane (22) of the projection lens can be imaged onto a light-sensitive layer (26) that is capable of being arranged in an image plane (28) of the projection lens. The projection lens is designed for immersion mode, in which a final lens element (L5; L205; L605; L705; L805; L905; L1005; L1105) of the projection lens on the image side is immersed in an immersion liquid (34; 334a; 434a; 534a). A terminating element (44; 244; 444; 544; 644; 744; 844; 944; 1044; 1144) that is transparent in respect of the projection light (13) is fastened between the final lens element on the image side and the light-sensitive layer.

    摘要: A microlithographic projection illumination system has a focus-detection system for optically detecting deviations of the image plane of a projection lens from the upper surface of a substrate arranged in the vicinity of its image plane. The focus-detection system has a system for coupling in at least one measuring beam that is obliquely incident on, and to be reflected at, the substrate surface into an intermediate zone between the final optical surface of the imaging system and the substrate surface and a system for coupling out the measuring beam and detecting it following its reflection at the substrate surface. The system for coupling the measuring beam in and the system for coupling it out are configured such that the measuring beam is reflected at least once at the substrate surface and at least once at a reflecting surface of the imaging system that reflects the light employed for measurement purposes before the measuring beam enters the system for coupling it out, which allows employing the image side of the imaging system as part of the focus-detection system. The focus-detection system also operates reliably when used on ultrahigh-aperture lenses that have correspondingly short working distances.
