    摘要: A composite body is joined together of at least two bodies (13, 16), wherein the first body (16) is a component—or monolithically comprises a component—with very stringent requirements on the precision of its surface (typically an optical component) and wherein the second body (13) can have the broadest diversity of functions, for example carrying parts of a position-measuring arrangement or optical surfaces. Each of the two bodies (13, 16) has at least one connecting surface area (21), and the at least two respective connecting surface areas (21) lie opposite each other. Within the at least one connecting surface area (21) of one of the two bodies (13, 16) or in the proximity of said connecting surface area (21), at least one constructive means is arranged for isolating the first body (16) and/or the second body (13) from deformation.

    摘要: In a housing structure for mounting optical elements, in particular of a projection lens housing in a projection exposure system for manufacturing semiconductor elements, attachment locations, which have connecting parts, for connection to a supporting structure are provided on structural elements. Supporting elements, which are provided with mounting flanges for connection to the supporting structure, act on the structural elements in such a way that weight forces are taken up essentially by pressure forces and shear forces.

    摘要: There is provided an optical element module comprising a first optical element and an optical element holder. The first optical element has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The optical element holder holds the first optical element and has a second coefficient of thermal expansion, the second coefficient of thermal expansion being adapted to the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The optical element is directly contacting the optical element holder in a wide contact area. The contact area is defined by a first contact surface of the first optical element and a second contact surface of the optical element holder, wherein the second contact surface matches the first contact surface. Thus, favorable rigidity and deformation behavior is provided.

    摘要: A balanced positioning apparatus comprises a balance mass which is supported so as to be moveable in the three degrees of freedom, such as X and Y translation and rotation about the Z-axis. Drive forces in these degrees of freedom act directly between the positioning body and the balance mass. Reaction forces arising from positioning movements result in corresponding movement of the balance mass and all reaction force are kept within the balanced positioning system. The balance mass may be a rectangular balance frame having the stators of two linear motors forming the uprights of an H-drive mounted on opposite sides. The cross-piece of the H-drive spans the frame and the positioned object is positioned within the central opening of the frame.
