摘要： An exemplary apparatus includes a controllably movable body, a holding device, and a coolant circulation device. The body comprises a wall including a planar contact surface that receives the reverse surface of the article. The wall co-extends with at least a heat-receiving area of the utility surface whenever the article is being held by the body. The wall also includes a second surface separated from but proximal to the contact surface, and is thermally conductive from the contact surface to the second surface. The holding device holds the article to the contact surface with the reverse surface contacting the contact surface. The coolant circulation device delivers flow of a coolant fluid to the second surface to urge conduction of heat from the contact surface to the second surface. The holding device and coolant-circulation device operate in concert to actively control shape of the article being held by the apparatus.

摘要： An optical system including an optical element, a positioning mechanism configured to position the optical element into an operational position, and a temperature control mechanism configured to intermittently control the temperature of the optical element between operations. By alternatively positioning the optical element between an operational position and a position in thermal contact with the temperature control mechanism, the two mechanisms for positioning and controlling the temperature of the optical element are de-coupled from one another. As a result, the mechanism for each may be optimized In non-exclusive embodiments, the temperature control mechanism may be used to control the temperature of an individual optical element or a plurality of optical elements, such as for example, a fly's eye mirror used in an illumination unit of an EUV lithography tool.

摘要： Mirrors and other optical elements are disclosed that include a body defining an optical surface (typically a reflective surface) and an opposing second surface. The body has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The optical element includes a correcting portion (e.g., a layer) attached to the second surface and having a CTE that, during heating of the optical element, imparts a bending moment to the body that at least partially offsets a change in curvature of the optical surface caused by heating. The body can be internally cooled. The body and correcting portion desirably are made of respective thermally conductive materials that can vary only slightly in CTE. The body desirably has a lower CTE than the correcting portion, and the correcting portion can be tuned according a variable property of the body and/or reflective surface. The body and correcting portion desirably function cooperatively in a thermally bimetallic-like manner.
