Abstract:
An optical imaging arrangement includes an optical projection system, a support structure system and a control device. The optical projection system includes a group of optical elements supported by the support structure system and configured to transfer, in an exposure process using exposure light along an exposure light path, an image of a pattern of a mask onto a substrate. The group of optical elements includes a first optical element and a second optical element and the control device includes a sensor device and an active device. The sensor device is functionally associated to the first optical element and is configured to capture mechanical disturbance information representative of a mechanical disturbance acting on the first optical element in at least one degree of freedom up to all six degrees of freedom.

Claim (Index 7):
The optical imaging arrangement of  claim 5 , wherein at least one of the following holds:\n the control information has been established using a numerical model of a modeled part of the optical imaging arrangement, the modeled part comprises the first optical element, a capturing location at which the mechanical disturbance information is captured, and a disturbance path along which the mechanical disturbance propagates from the capturing location to the first optical element, and the mechanical numerical model is representative of a geometric alteration in a position and/or an orientation and/or a geometry of the first optical element in response to the mechanical disturbance at the capturing location; the control information has been established using an optical model representative of an imaging error alteration of the imaging error as based on a geometric alteration of the first optical element in response to the mechanical disturbance; the control information has been established using imaging error alteration information representative of an alteration of the imaging error in response to a defined mechanical excitation of the first optical element, the defined mechanical excitation has been generated using at least one actuator device of the support structure system, the defined mechanical excitation is a sinusoidal excitation and/or having an excitation frequency of 0.05 Hz to 1000 Hz, and the first optical element has a first order bending resonant frequency and the excitation frequency, in particular ranging from 0.05 Hz to two thirds of the first order bending resonant frequency; and\n the control information has been established using correcting control signal information representative of the correcting control signal base on an imaging error alteration.
