Abstract

The invention discloses an optical element gravity deformation compensating device, which comprises an optical element, a deformable mirror frame, a pair of annular electromagnets, a capacitive sensor and an upper cover plate; the deformable mirror frame is composed of a mirror frame inner ring, a mirror frame outer ring and a supporting ring The integrated structure of the mirror frame, the inner ring of the frame is fixedly connected with the optical element through the glue injection hole on the side wall, the lower part of the supporting ring is in contact with the boss of the outer mirror frame to provide a support point, and a ring electromagnet is installed on the upper part of the outer ring of the mirror frame. The repulsion provides a vertical downward displacement. After loading, the outer frame of the deformable mirror frame drives the inner frame to move axially, which causes the optical element to deform, and finally realizes the compensation of rotationally symmetrical aberrations; it has the advantages of simple structure and reasonable design.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to high-precision optical element support structure design and surface shape compensation, and in particular provides an optical element gravity deformation compensation device. Background technique [0002] For the manufacturing process of large-scale integrated circuits, projection lithography is the most critical process, and a projection lithography machine is required. The projection objective lens is the core of the projection lithography machine, and its performance directly determines the lithography line. resolution. [0003] In order to ensure the extremely high imaging quality of the projection objective lens, the surface shape accuracy of each surface of the optical element after processing and coating is only allowed to be λ / 100, which is about 1nm~2nm (RMS). Generally speaking, in the visible waveband, when the optical lens diameter is small (Ф<100mm), the deformation caused by the lens's own weight is about λ / 20...
