METHOD FOR CORRECTING THE SURFACE FORM OF A MIRROR

A method for correcting a surface form of a mirror (1) for reflecting radiation in the wavelength range of 5-30 nm, which includes: applying a correction layer (13) having a layer thickness variation (21) for correcting the mirror's surface form, and applying a first group (19) of layers to the...

Summary:A method for correcting a surface form of a mirror (1) for reflecting radiation in the wavelength range of 5-30 nm, which includes: applying a correction layer (13) having a layer thickness variation (21) for correcting the mirror's surface form, and applying a first group (19) of layers to the correction layer. The first group (19) of layers includes first (9) and second (11) layers arranged alternately one above another, wherein the first layers have a refractive index at the operating wavelength which is greater than the refractive index of the second layers for that radiation. The correction layer (13) is applied by: introducing the mirror into an atmosphere including a reaction gas (15), applying a correction radiation (17) having a location-dependent radiation energy density, such that a correction layer having a location-dependent layer thickness variation (21) grows on the mirror's irradiated surface.
