    摘要: The invention relates to a projection objective (6), in particular for applications in microlithography, serving to project an image of an object (3) arranged in an object plane (4) onto a substrate (18) arranged in an image plane (7). The projection objective (6) has an object-side-oriented part (10) which is arranged adjacent to the object plane (4) and includes a plurality of optical elements, and it also has an image-side-oriented part (11) of the objective which is arranged adjacent to the image plane (7) and includes a free space (16) serving to receive a fluid (13) and further includes at least a part of an optical end-position element (14) serving to delimit the free space (16) towards the object side. The projection objective (6) is operable in different modes of operation in which the free space (16) is filled with fluids (13) that differ in their respective indices of refraction.

    摘要: A projection objective of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus has a high index refractive optical element with an index of refraction greater than 1.6. This element has a volume and a material related optical property which varies over the volume. Variations of this optical property cause an aberration of the objective. In one embodiment at least 4 optical surfaces are provided that are arranged in at least one volume which is optically conjugate with the volume of the refractive optical element. Each optical surface comprises at least one correction means, for example a surface deformation or a birefringent layer with locally varying properties, which at least partially corrects the aberration caused by the variation of the optical property.
