Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an optical element and an optical arrangement comprising such an optical element.
  • the invention can be used in connection with the microlithography used in the manufacture of microelectronic circuits. It therefore further relates to a lens barrel which is particularly suitable for use in a microlithography device, and to a microlithography device comprising such a lens barrel.
  • this design has the disadvantage that a comparatively complex mounting of the respective holding element is required.
  • a comparatively large area of the lens has to be machined with a correspondingly high outlay in order to produce the contact areas in order to ensure sufficient accuracy of the contact areas.
  • a holder for a lens in which three holding elements distributed on the periphery of the lens engage radially in a V-shaped annular groove running around the periphery of the lens.
  • the holding elements bear against the lens with a certain preload and thereby hold the lens both in the direction of the optical axis and in the circumferential direction and in the radial direction.
  • the defined preload is achieved by a resilient design of one of the holding elements in the radial direction.
  • This design also has the disadvantage, on the one hand, that for the circumferential V-shaped annular groove, a comparatively large area of the lens has to be machined with a correspondingly high outlay in order to ensure sufficient accuracy of the contact areas.
  • Another disadvantage of the design lies in the fact that, on the one hand, it is only of limited suitability for thin lenses and, on the other hand, an increased production outlay is required because of the risk of breakouts on the lens.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing an optical element or an optical arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, or at least to a lesser extent, and in particular one that is as stress-free as possible, while being easy to manufacture Bracket allows.
  • the present invention achieves this object by means of an optical element with the features of claim 1. It also achieves this object by means of an optical arrangement with the features of claim 14.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that a low-stress mounting of the optical element is possible with simple manufacturability if the processing of the optical element for producing the contact areas with the associated holding device is limited in circumferential view and additionally or alternatively limited in the direction of the optical axis the easy-to-edit circumferential outer edges of the optical element. In this case, only the contact areas actually used for the contact then have to be subjected to correspondingly complex processing, as a result of which the effort for producing the holding area on the optical element is significantly reduced.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore an optical element, in particular a lens, comprising an element body with an optically active first region, which has an optical axis, and an edge region which runs in a circumferential direction of the element body and in which at least one first holding region is arranged.
  • the first holding area has at least one first contact area which is designed to interact with a first holding device for holding the element body.
  • the edge area forms the first contact area in the circumferential direction of the element body, limited only at a first circumferential area limited in the circumferential direction.
  • the edge area forms the first contact area limited in the direction of the optical axis only at two contact surfaces of the element body spaced apart in the direction of the optical axis, which are each arranged in the area of a circumferential outer edge of the element body and at least one of which is partially in Extends direction of the optical axis.
  • the limitation of the first contact area in the circumferential direction means that the first contact area does not have to be produced over the entire circumference of the element body. For example, a corresponding processing of the element body to produce the first contact area does not have to cover its entire circumference respectively. This may significantly reduce the effort required to produce the first contact area.
  • the same is achieved by delimiting the first contact area in the direction of the optical axis and limiting it to two contact areas arranged in the area of a circumferential outer edge of the element body.
  • the extension of at least one of the contact surfaces partially in the direction of the optical axis enables the contact zone between the first holding device and the lens to be designed as a self-adjusting clamping pair, in which a holding force directed primarily in the radial direction is introduced into the lens. Due to the self-adjusting clamping pair z. B. level differences between the first holding devices already compensated for in the contact zone between the first holding device and the lens, so that there is no need for expensive storage of the first holding devices. In other words, this enables a simple, as tension-free mounting of the lens as possible.
  • Another object of the present invention is an optical arrangement with an optical element according to the invention and a first holding device which interacts with a first holding area of the optical element.
  • Another object of the present invention is a lens barrel, in particular a lens barrel for a microlithography device, with at least one optical module, which comprises an optical arrangement according to the invention.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a microlithography device for transferring a pattern formed on a mask to a substrate with an optical projection system which comprises a lens barrel according to the invention.

  • FIGS. 1 to 3 A preferred embodiment of the optical arrangement 1 according to the invention with a preferred embodiment of the optical element 2 according to the invention is first described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective illustration of the optical arrangement 1 with the optical element in the form of a lens 2.
  • the lens 2 is supported on a frame device in the form of a holder 4 by means of three first holding devices 3 evenly distributed over its circumference.
  • the lens 2 has an element body in the form of a lens body 2.1.
  • the lens body 2.1 comprises an optically effective first region 2.2 with an optical axis 2.3.
  • This optically effective region 2.2 which is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the optical axis 2.3, is defined on both sides of the lens 2 by a corresponding optically active surface 2.4 or 2.5 of the lens body 2.1.
  • the lens 2 has an edge region 2.6 which extends radially outward and adjoins the optically active first region 2.2 in the circumferential direction of the lens 2.
  • the circumferential direction of the lens 2 lies in a plane oriented perpendicular to the optical axis 2.3.
  • first holding areas 2.7 are evenly distributed over the circumference of the lens body 2.1.
  • Each holding area 2.7 has a first contact area 2.8, which interacts with the associated first holding device 3 in order to hold the lens 2.
  • the respective first contact region 2.8 is formed on a first projection 2.9 which extends radially away from the optical axis.
  • This first projection 2.9 extends in the circumferential direction of the lens 2 over a limited first circumferential region.
  • This first circumferential area extends over an angular area of approximately 15 °. The first circumferential region thus only extends over approximately 4.2% of the circumference of the lens body 2.1.
  • the first projections 2.9 are produced by removing material of the lens body lying between them in the circumferential direction. This can be done, for example, by milling, grinding or other machining of the lens body 2.1. In this case, a method can advantageously be used which produces surfaces with a lower surface quality than is required for the first contact area.
  • the first projections which could also be referred to as retaining lugs, can thus be produced relatively quickly with little effort.
  • the transition between the cylindrical edge region of the lens and the respective first projection is rounded in order to achieve a favorable stress distribution. It goes without saying, however, that it can also be designed with sharp edges and / or with a multiple offset.
  • the contact area then to be formed on the respective first projection 2.9 does indeed require a higher surface quality.
  • the effort for this is considerably reduced.
  • the first contact region 2.8 has a first contact surface 2.10 and a second contact surface 2.11 on the first projection 2.9.
  • the first contact surface 2.10 continues the first optically active surface 2.4 on the top of the lens 2, while the second contact surface 2.11 continues the second optically active surface 2.5 on the underside of the lens 2. Since both the first optically active surface 2.4 and the second optically active surface 2.5 are curved twice, the first contact surface 2.0 and the second contact surface 2.11 are also curved twice.
  • the first contact surface 2.10 and the second contact surface 2.11 face away from each other.
  • the first holding device 3 has a first holding element 3.1.
  • the first holding element 3.1 has a second contact area 3.2, which cooperates with the first contact area 2.8 on the first projection 2.9 of the lens 2.
  • the second contact area 3.2 is designed as a symmetrical V-shaped groove with a flat third contact surface 3.3, a flat fourth contact surface 3.4 and a rounded groove base 3.5.
  • the third contact surface 3.3 and the fourth contact surface 3.4 face each other. It goes without saying that the groove in other variants of the invention cannot be formed symmetrically due to the consideration of the gravitational force
  • the first holding element 3.1 is resiliently arranged on a first holding body 3.6. It can spring in a direction 3.7 which is at least approximately perpendicular to the optical axis 2.3. In the direction of the optical axis 2.3, the first holding element 3.1 is arranged essentially rigidly on the first holding body 3.6. This is achieved by the central arrangement of the first holding element 3.1 on a bilaterally clamped bending beam 3.8. This bending beam 3.8 is in turn formed by an elongated slot 3.9 in the first holding body 3.6 which extends in the direction of the optical axis 2.3.
  • the respective first holding element 3.1 rests with its second contact area 3.2 with a defined bias in the direction of the optical axis 2.3 against the associated first contact area 2.8 of the lens 2. Due to the resilient design, this preload remains essentially constant even during thermal expansion of the components during operation. In other words, this design achieves thermal decoupling from deformation. Another advantage of this design lies in the compensation of manufacturing tolerances, which is thereby achieved.
  • the rounding radius in the groove bottom 3.5 of the holding element 3.1 is smaller than the radius at the outer end 2.12 of the first projection 2.9 at the transition between the first contact surface 2.10 and the second contact surface 2.11.
  • the first contact surface 2.10 of the lens 2 contacts the third contact surface 3.3 of the first holding element 3.1.
  • an essentially point-shaped contact point results.
  • the second contact surface 2.11 of the lens 2 contacts the fourth contact surface 3.4 of the first holding element 3.1.
  • the double curvature of the second contact surface 2.11 and the planar design of the fourth contact surface 3.4 result in an essentially point-shaped contact point.
  • the term “essentially point-like contact point” is to be understood in such a way that point-like contact would result with ideally rigid contact partners with ideal geometry. In fact, depending on the stiffness of the contact partners and their deviation from the ideal geometry, there is of course a small point-like contact area.
  • This contact surface pairing with two essentially point-shaped contact points per holding device results in a self-adjusting clamping pairing.
  • Level differences between the first holding devices 3 are already compensated for in the contact zone between the first holding device 3 and the lens 2, without any significant introduction of tension into the lens 2. This eliminates the need for complex mounting of the first holding devices 3.
  • the holding devices 3 hold the lens 2 both positively and non-positively in the direction of its optical axis 2.1 and in the radial direction and also frictionally in the circumferential direction of the lens 2.
  • the described design of the contact surfaces and the resilient mounting of the holding elements 3.1 result in a resulting holding force, which is mainly directed in the direction of the optical axis 2.3 and is introduced into the lens 2.
  • the deformations of the lens are essentially limited to the respective protrusion 2.9, and therefore do not significantly influence the optically effective area 2.2.
  • the holding body 3.6 are supported by support elements 5 on a circumferential ring flange 4.1 of the socket 4.
  • the relative position of the holding bodies 3.6 with respect to the flange 4 in the direction of the optical axis 2.3 can be changed via these support elements 5.
  • the lens 2 can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis 2.3.
  • the optical axis 2.3 can also be tilted with respect to the plane of the ring flange 4.1.
  • the holder 4 consists of a material which has at least approximately the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the optical element. Ideal would be B. the pairing quartz-Invar. As a result, there are no thermal expansion differences.
  • the radial spring action of the holding devices then only serves to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances.
  • the level of force required to achieve the force connection within the mount can thus be reduced, which has a positive effect on the deformations of the optical element.
  • the optical element is then largely held in a positive manner in all spatial directions.
  • the respective support element 5 comprises one or more interchangeable spacer elements, so-called spacers, the thickness of which is selected depending on the desired positioning of the lens 2.
