    摘要: A projection objective for applications in microlithography, a microlithography projection exposure apparatus with a projection objective, a microlithographic manufacturing method for microstructured components, and a component manufactured using such a manufacturing method are disclosed. The projection objective includes an optical component configured so that, during use of the projection objective, the optical component generates a stray light component in the exposure field of the projection objective which adapts a parameter of the projection objective to a parameter of a second projection objective. The parameter is the stray light component at the exposure field of the projection objective and/or a variation of the stray light component at the exposure field of the projection objective. The parameter of the second projection objective is a stray light component at an exposure field of the second projection objective and/or a variation of the stray light component at the exposure field of the second projection objective. The second projection objective is different from the projection objective.

    摘要: Objective, in particular a projection objective for a microlithography projection-exposure installation, with at least one fluoride crystal lens. A reduction in the detrimental influence of birefringence is achieved if this lens is a (100)-lens with a lens axis which is approximately perpendicular to the {100} crystallographic planes or to the crystallographic planes equivalent thereto of the fluoride crystal. In the case of objectives with at least two fluoride crystal lenses, it is favorable if the fluoride crystal lenses are arranged such that they are rotated with respect to one another. The lens axes of the fluoride crystal lenses may in this case point not only in the crystallographic direction but also in the crystallographic direction or in the crystallographic direction. A further reduction in the detrimental influence of birefringence is achieved by the simultaneous use of groups with (100)-lenses rotated with respect to one another and groups with (111)-lenses or (110)-lenses rotated with respect to one another. A further reduction in the detrimental influence of birefringence is obtained by covering an optical element with a compensation coating.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus and a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, as well as related components, methods and articles made by the methods. The microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes an illumination system and a projection objective. The illumination system can illuminate a mask arranged in an object plane of the projection objective. The mask can have structures which are to be imaged. The method can include illuminating a pupil plane of the illumination system with light. The method can also include modifying, in a plane of the projection objective, the phase, amplitude and/or polarization of the light passing through that plane. The modification can be effected for at least two diffraction orders in mutually different ways. A mask-induced loss in image contrast obtained in the imaging of the structures can be reduced compared to a method without the modification.
