摘要:
An optical element unit is provided comprising an optical element group; a housing receiving said optical element group and having an inner housing part and an exit end; and a purge unit connected to said housing and providing a purge medium to said inner housing part. The optical element group comprises an ultimate optical element. The ultimate optical element is located at the exit end of housing and separates the inner housing part from an environment external to the housing. The ultimate optical element and the housing define a sealing gap. The purge unit provides purge medium to the sealing gap to prevent intrusion of contaminants into the inner housing part.

摘要:
An optical element unit includes a first optical element module and a sealing arrangement. The first optical element module occupies a first module space and includes a first module component of a first component type and an associated second module component of a second component type. The first component type is optical elements and the second component type being different from the first component type. The sealing arrangement separates the first module space into a first space and a second space and substantially pre-vents, at least in a first direction, the intrusion of substances from one of the first space and the second space into the other one of the first space and the second space. The first module component at least partially contacts the first space and, at least in its area optically used, not contacting the second space. The second module component at least partially contacts the second space.

摘要:
A method and a device for replacing objective parts, especially of a projection or illumination objective for microlithography in which an objective having an objective interior and objective parts provided therein is provided. At least one objective part is replaceably accommodated in the objective. Immediately prior to installation in the objective, the replaceable objective part is cleaned outside the objective interior in at least one cleaning room sealed off from the ambient atmosphere. Immediately after cleaning, the replaceable objective is installed in the objective without contact with the normal ambient atmosphere.
