Abstract

Detailed simulation of thermal and structural deformation and its impact on the optical performance of Nikon's 6-mirror projection optics was performed. The simulation employed the commercial software I-DEAS and CODE V, as well as in-house software. The results show that (a) the maximum temperature increase is 4.09°C in the smallest mirror, (b) the maximum thermal deformation at clear aperture is about 0.251 nm rms, and (c) the maximum nonspherical deformation at clear aperture is about 0.035 nm rms.
