    摘要: A device serves for reflecting electromagnetic waves, in particular in a length range less than 200 nm. It has a mirror carrier made of a material with at least approximately vanishing thermal expansion and at least one reflective layer applied on said mirror carrier. An intermediate layer made of a material which is formed such that its surface roughness is not significantly increased after beam processing methods is fitted between the mirror carrier and the reflective layer.

    摘要: A mirror for use in a projection exposure apparatus is described. The mirror has a main surface extending beyond an outline of an optical surface of the main surface. The optical surface has a roughness of less than 1 nm rms, and the outline of the optical surface includes a portion where the main surface extends beyond the optical surface by less than 0.2 mm. Manufacturing the mirror may involve polishing the optical surface in regions of the main surface extending beyond the optical surface and removing material of the substrate carrying a portion of the surface extending beyond the optical surface.

The method includes etching away the at least one reflective layer (4a, 4b) as far as the interlayer (6) with an etching gas (7), wherein the material of the interlayer (6) does not react with the etching gas (7), and wherein, after the etching away, the interlayer (6) has a surface roughness of less than 0.5 nm rms, preferably of less than 0.2 nm rms, and more preferably of less than 0.1 nm rms. Also, an optical element (1) for reflecting radiation in the EUV wavelength range includes a substrate (2), at least one reflective layer (4a, 4b), and an interlayer (6) arranged between the substrate (2) and the at least one reflective layer (4a, 4b). The interlayer (6) is composed at least partly of a material which does not react with a halogen or a halogen compound as etching gas (7) and which is selected, in particular, from one or more of the following: alkali metal halides, alkaline earth metal halides and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). The interlayer (6) has a surface roughness of less than 0.5 nm rms, preferably of less than 0.2 nm rms, and more preferably of less than 0.1 nm rms.
