ABSTRACT:
There is provided a microlithographic projector lens for EUV-lithography with a wavelegth in a range of 10–30 nm, an incident aperture diaphragm and an emergent aperture diaphragm for the transformation of an object field in an object plane into an image field in an image plane. The invention has a microlithographic projector lens that includes a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth mirror, and a beam path from the object plane to the image plane that is free from obscuration.
