Abstract:
A projection exposure apparatus ( 400 ) for semiconductor lithography contains at least one partial volume ( 4 ) that is closed off from the surroundings. The partial volume ( 4 ) contains a gas, from which a plasma can be produced. Conditioning elements ( 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 ) for conditioning the plasma, in particular for neutralizing the plasma, are present in the partial volume. An associated method for operating a projection exposure apparatus is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A projection exposure apparatus for semiconductor lithography, comprising:\n at least one partial volume that is closed off from surroundings, a purge gas arranged in the partial volume to produce a plasma, conditioning elements provided in the partial volume, to condition the plasma, wherein the conditioning elements are suited to at least partially neutralize the plasma and to influence an electric potential of elements arranged in the partial volume.
