摘要: For a working wavelength in the range from 1 nm to 12 nm, a reflective optical element has, on a substrate, a multilayer system that includes at least two alternating materials having a different real part of the refractive index at the working wavelength. The multilayer system includes a first alternating material from the group formed from thorium, uranium, barium, nitrides thereof, carbides thereof, borides thereof, lanthanum carbide, lanthanum nitride, lanthanum boride, and a second alternating material from the group formed from carbon, boron, boron carbide, or lanthanum as first alternating material and carbon or boron as second alternating material. It has, on the side of the multilayer system remote from the substrate, a protective layer system including a nitride, an oxide and/or a platinum metal.

摘要: A mirror element, in particular for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus. According to one aspect, the mirror element includes a substrate (111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 211, 212, 213, 311a-311m, 411, 412, 413) and a layer stack (121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 221, 222, 223, 321a-321m, 421, 422, 423) on the substrate. The layer stack has at least one reflection layer system, wherein a curvature of the mirror element is generated on the basis of a setpoint curvature for a predetermined operating temperature by a non-vanishing bending force exerted by the layer stack, wherein the generated curvature varies by no more than 10% over a temperature interval (ΔT) of at least 10 K.

摘要: An optical system, in particular for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, with at least one mirror (200) which has an optically effective surface and, for electromagnetic radiation of a predefined operating wavelength impinging on the optically effective surface at an angle of incidence of at least 65° relative to the respective surface normal, has a reflectivity of at least 0.5. The mirror has a reflection layer (210) and a compensation layer (220) which is arranged above this reflection layer (210) in the direction of the optically effective surface. The compensation layer (220), for an intensity distribution generated in a pupil plane or a field plane of the optical system during operation thereof, reduces the difference between the maximum and the minimum intensity value by at least 20% compared to an analogous structure without the compensation layer.

摘要: A method for producing a mirror element, in particular for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes: providing a substrate (101, 102, 103, 104, 201, 202, 301, 302, 401, 402, 501, 502, 801, 901, 951, 961); and forming a layer stack (111, 112, 113, 114, 211, 212, 311, 312, 411, 412, 511, 512) on the substrate, wherein the layer stack is formed so that a setpoint curvature of the mirror element for a predetermined operating temperature is generated by a bending force exerted by the layer stack, wherein the substrate has a curvature deviating from the setpoint curvature of the mirror element prior to the formation of the layer stack, and wherein the bending force exerted by the layer stack is at least partly generated by virtue of a post-treatment for changing the layer tension of the layer stack.

摘要: A mirror, such as for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, comprises an optical effective surface. The mirror comprises a mirror substrate and a plurality of cavities in the mirror substrate. Fluid can be applied to each cavity. A deformation is transferable to the optical effective surface by varying the fluid pressure in the cavities. Related optical systems methods are provided.

摘要: An optical element for an optical system that operates with working light in the wavelength spectrum of extreme ultraviolet light or soft X-ray radiation, in particular an optical system for EUV microlithography, that includes an absorber layer (12) for EUV or soft X-ray radiation. The absorber layer extends along an optically effective surface and has a thickness that is defined transversely with respect to the optically effective surface, wherein the thickness of the absorber layer varies over the optically effective surface. Also disclosed is a mirror formed by at least one roughened surface of the mirror, the roughness of which varies over the surface. In addition, an illumination system for an EUV projection exposure apparatus, and a method for producing a corresponding intensity adaptation filter are disclosed.
