摘要:
A projection optical system, which forms a reduced image of a first surface onto a second surface, has excellent optical performance without substantially being affected by birefringence despite the use of optical material having intrinsic birefringence. This is done by suitably arranging certain crystal axes of radiation transmissive members that make up the projection optical system relative to the optical axis of the projection optical system, and by suitably arranging the certain crystal axes of the radiation transmissive members relative to the crystal axes of other radiation transmissive members in the projection optical system.
摘要:
An optical system attains good optical performance without substantially receiving the effects of birefringence even when using an optical material having intrinsic birefringence. An optical system that includes at least one radiation transmissive member that transmits light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less has an optical axis that substantially coincides with a crystal axis [100] or a crystal axis optically equivalent to the crystal axis [100]. In addition, an optical system can include: a first group of radiation transmissive members that transmits light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less and having an optical axis that substantially coincides with a crystal axis [100] or a crystal axis optically equivalent to the crystal axis [100]; and a second group of radiation transmissive members that transmits light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less and having an optical axis that substantially coincides with a crystal axis [100] or a crystal axis optically equivalent to the crystal axis [100]; wherein the first group of radiation transmissive members and the second group of radiation transmissive members have a positional relationship rotated substantially 45° about the optical axis relative to each other.

A catadioptric optical system forms an image of a first surface onto a second surface. The system includes a first lens having a first optical axis, a combination of a concave mirror and a second lens, the combination having a second optical axis, a third lens having a third optical axis, a first reflection plane that is arranged in an optical path between the first lens and the combination, and a second reflection plane that is arranged in an optical path between the combination and the third lens. An intersection line of an extension plane of the first reflection plane and an extension plane of the second reflection plane is set up so that the first optical axis, the second optical axis and the third optical axis intersect at one point. In addition, at least one of the first lens and the third lens is movable.

A projection exposure apparatus includes a projection optical system, which is arranged in an optical path between a first surface and a second surface, projects a pattern on a negative plate arranged on the first surface onto a workpiece arranged on the second surface and exposes the pattern thereon. The projection optical system includes a first imaging optical subsystem having a dioptric imaging optical system; a second imaging optical subsystem having a concave reflecting system; a third imaging optical subsystem having a dioptric imaging optical system; a first folding mirror arranged in an optical path between the first imaging optical subsystem and the second imaging optical subsystem; and a second folding mirror arranged in an optical path between the second imaging optical subsystem and the third imaging optical subsystem. The first imaging optical subsystem forms a first intermediate image and the second imaging optical subsystem forms a second intermediate image.
摘要:
An exposure apparatus (EX) exposes a substrate (P) by irradiating exposure light (EL) on the substrate (P) through liquid (LQ). The exposure apparatus (EX) has a substrate holder (PH) for holding the substrate (P), a substrate stage (PST) capable of moving the substrate (P) held by the substrate holder (PH), and a temperature adjusting system (60) for adjusting the temperature of the substrate holder (PH). The temperature of the substrate (P) is controlled so that there is no difference in temperature between the substrate (P) and the liquid (LQ), thereby preventing a reduction in exposure accuracy resulting from variation in temperature of the liquid (LQ).
