Abstract
A catadioptric projection objective has a plurality of optical elements arranged along an optical axis to image a pattern from an object field in an object surface of the objective to an image field in an image surface region of the objective at an image-side numerical aperture NA≧1.35 with electromagnetic radiation defining an operating wavelength λ. The optical elements form a first objective part configured to image the pattern from the object surface into a first intermediate image, a second objective part configured to image the first intermediate image into a second intermediate image, the second objective part including a concave mirror having a reflective mirror surface positioned at or close to a pupil surface; and a third objective part configured to image the second intermediate image into the image surface. A first deflecting mirror is arranged to deflect radiation from the object surface towards the concave mirror, and a second deflecting mirror is arranged to deflect radiation from the concave mirror towards the image surface such that the image surface is parallel to the object surface. A geometrical distance L between the object surface and the image surface is smaller than or equal to 1950 mm.
