    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a projection objective is provided and includes at least two non-planar (curved) mirrors, wherein an axial distance between a next to last non-planar mirror and a last non-planar mirror, as defined along a light path, is greater than an axial distance between the last non-planar mirror and a first refracting surface of lenses following in the light path. In one exemplary embodiment, the first refracting surface is associated with a single pass type lens. The present objectives form images with numerical apertures of at least about 0.80 or higher, e.g., 0.95. Preferably, the objective does not include folding mirrors and there is no intermediate image between the two mirrors, as well as the pupil of the objective being free of obscuration.

    摘要: The invention relates to a reflective optical element and an EUV lithography appliance containing one such element, said appliance displaying a low propensity to contamination. According to the invention, the reflective optical element has a protective layer system consisting of at least one layer. The optical characteristics of the protective layer system are between those of a spacer and an absorber or correspond to those of a spacer. The selection of a material with the smallest possible imaginary part and a real part which is as close to 1 as possible in terms of the refractive index leads to a plateau-type reflectivity course according to the thickness of the protective layer system between two thicknesses d1 and d2. The thickness of the protective layer system is selected in such a way that it is less than d2.
