摘要:
A method for producing an element having at least one arbitrarily freely formed surface (freeform surface) having a high accuracy of form and a low surface roughness. The freeform surface is obtained by at least one first processing step with a shaping material processing method in which at least an approximation to the desired freeform surface (target form) is effected, and at least one second step with a material processing method that smooths the surface, wherein at least during the second processing step of the smoothing material processing, the element (1) to be processed is elastically stressed by force introduction such that the freeform surface to be smoothed is processed by smoothing processes for spherical, plane or aspherical surfaces. A corresponding apparatus includes a mount receiving the element to be processed and a smoothing tool smoothing the freeform surface, wherein the receptacle has at least one actuator (6) for exerting a force on the element to be processed, such that the element to be processed can be elastically stressed into an intermediate shape (2″), such that the freeform surface to be smoothed can be processed with the smoothing tool by smoothing processes for spherical, plane or aspherical surfaces.
摘要:
A mirror (1a; 1a′; 1b; 1b′; 1c; 1c′) with a substrate (S) and a layer arrangement configured such that light (32) having a wavelength below 250 nm and incident on the mirror at at least an angle of incidence of between 0° and 30° is reflected with more than 20% of its intensity. The layer arrangement has at least one surface layer system (P′″) having a periodic sequence of at least two periods (P3) of individual layers, wherein the periods (P3) include a high refractive index layer (H′″) and a low refractive index layer (L′″). The layer arrangement has at least one graphine layer. Use of graphene (G, SPL, B) on optical elements reduces surface roughness to below 0.1 nm rms HSFR and/or protects the EUV element against a radiation-induced volume change of more than 1%. Graphene is also employed as a barrier layer to prevent layer interdiffusion.
摘要:
A method for repairing optical elements having a coating, in which the coating is fully or partially removed or left on the optical element, a polishing layer being provided in the coating or a polishing layer being applied, which allows simple processing of the surface to achieve high geometrical accuracy and lower surface roughness. A new coating is applied onto the corresponding polishing layer. Also addressed are corresponding optical elements, including optical elements recycled according to the method.
