Zusammenfassung:A semiconductor lithography projection exposure apparatus includes a sensor reference including reference elements. The apparatus also includes an optical element, which includes a main body comprising receiving elements receiving the reference elements. The optical element further includes a referential surface that is an optically active surface of the optical element. The reference elements are arranged to determine a position and an orientation of the optical element. A method includes aligning a sensor reference with respect to a referential surface in a semiconductor lithography projection exposure apparatus.
