    摘要: A projection exposure system is proposed which is positionable between a first object and a second object for imaging the first object in a region of the second object with light of a wavelength band having a width &dgr;&lgr; about a central working wavelength &lgr;, wherein a relative width &dgr;&lgr;/&lgr; of the wavelength band is larger than 0.002, in particular, larger than 0.005, for example, of the Hg-I-line. The projection exposure system is a so-called three-bulge system comprising three bulges having, as a whole, a positive refractive power and two waists having, as a whole, a negative refractive power. By applying suitable measures, in particular, by suitably selecting the material for the lenses forming the projection exposure system, the long-term stability of the system is increased.

    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.

    摘要: A projection exposure system includes an illumination system configured to illuminate a mask with radiation. The projection exposure system also includes a projection objective configured to project an image of a pattern of the mask onto a radiation-sensitive substrate. The projection exposure system further includes an angle-selective filter arrangement arranged at or close to a field surface of the projection objective in a projection beam path optically downstream of the object surface. The angle-selective filter arrangement is effective to filter radiation incident on the filter arrangement according to an angle-selective filter function.
