摘要:
In a projection objective for imaging a pattern arranged in the object plane of the projection objective into the image plane of the projection objective, at least one optical component is provided which has a substrate in which at least one substrate surface is covered with an interference layer system having a great spatial modulation of the reflectance and/or of the transmittance over a usable cross section of the optical component, the modulation being adapted to a spatial transmission distribution of the remaining components of the projection objective in such a way that an intensity distribution of the radiation that is measured in a pupil surface has a substantially reduced spatial modulation in comparison with a projection objective without the interference layer system.

A reflective coating (8) is formed within the reflective surface (11) and has at least two layer subsystems, wherein the first layer subsystem has layers (8e, 8f) composed of a periodic sequence of alternate high and low refractive index layers composed of a nonmetallic material and is optimized with regard to the reflectivity in respect of a used wavelength of the micromirror arrangement, and wherein the second layer subsystem is optimized with regard to the reflectivity in respect of a measurement wavelength of the micromirror arrangement, said measurement wavelength deviating from the used wavelength.
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.
