Zusammenfassung: | Production techniques of a reflective optical element for the extreme ultraviolet wavelength range having a multilayer system reflective coating arranged on a substrate. The multilayer system has mutually alternating layers of at least two different materials with different real parts of their refractive indexes at a wavelength in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength range. A layer of one of the at least two materials forms a stack with the layer or layers arranged between the former and the closest layer of the same material with increasing distance from the substrate. At least one layer of the multilayer system is polished during or after deposition thereof, such roughness of the reflective optical element rises significantly less over all layers than in a corresponding reflective optical element with a reflective coating in the form of a multilayer system composed of unpolished layers. The multilayer system may have more than 50 layer stacks. |
