20100067653 | OPTICAL ELEMENT FOR RADIATION IN THE EUV AND/OR SOFT X-RAY REGION AND AN OPTICAL SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST ONE OPTICAL ELEMENT - An optical element, especially a normal-incidence collector mirror, for radiation in the EUV and/or soft X-ray region of wavelengths is described. The element has a substrate, a multilayer coating with an optically active region, and a capacitor, having a first and a second capacitor electrode. At least one layer of the multilayer coating serves as the first capacitor electrode. At least one dielectric layer is provided between the two capacitor electrodes. Also described is an optical system with at least one optical element, having a first electrode arranged in the vicinity of the optical element. | 03-18-2010 |

20100195070 | PROJECTION OBJECTIVE FOR MICROLITHOGRAPHY, PROJECTION EXPOSURE APPARATUS, PROJECTION EXPOSURE METHOD AND OPTICAL CORRECTION PLATE - A projection objective is disclosed. The projection objective can include a plurality of optical elements arranged to image a pattern from an object field in an object surface of the projection objective to an image field in an image surface of the projection objective with electromagnetic operating radiation from a wavelength band around an operating wavelength λ. The plurality of optical elements can include an optical correction plate that includes a body comprising a material transparent to the operating radiation, the body having a first optical surface, a second optical surface, a plate normal substantially perpendicular to the first and second optical surfaces, and a thickness profile defined as a distance between the first and second optical surfaces measured parallel to the plate normal. The first optical surface can have a non-rotationally symmetric aspheric first surface profile with a first peak-to-valley value PV | 08-05-2010 |
20110228237 | REFLECTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENT AND EUV LITHOGRAPHY APPLIANCE - A reflective optical element and an EUV lithography appliance containing one such element are provided, the appliance displaying a low propensity to contamination. The reflective optical element has a protective layer system includes at least two layers. The optical characteristics of the protective layer system are between those of a spacer and an absorber, or correspond to those of a spacer. The selection of a material with the smallest possible imaginary part and a real part which is as close to 1 as possible in terms of the refractive index leads to a plateau-type reflectivity course according to the thickness of the protective layer system between two thicknesses d | 09-22-2011 |
