Abstract

A unit magnification lens system suitable for imaging of features in photoresist designed for exposure at a wavelength of 248.4 nm using a krypton fluoride excimer laser. This lens system is characterized by a very long working distance in the object and image spaces to allow incorporation of minors in the imaging path. The optical system is refractive, telecentric, and symmetrical about the central aperture stop.
