Optical component that includes a material having a thermal longitudinal expansion with a zero crossing
There is provided an optical component. The optical component includes a material having a surface that heats to a maximum temperature (Tmax) when subjected to radiation. The material has a temperature-dependent coefficient of thermal expansion (alpha(T)) of about zero at a temperature T0 that is ap...

Zusammenfassung: | There is provided an optical component. The optical component includes a material having a surface that heats to a maximum temperature (Tmax) when subjected to radiation. The material has a temperature-dependent coefficient of thermal expansion (alpha(T)) of about zero at a temperature T0 that is approximately equal to Tmax. The optical component is suitable for use in any of an illumination system, a projection objective or a projection exposure system, as employed, for example, for EUV microlithography. |
