Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a projection exposure apparatus for semiconductor lithography which includes an actuator system to mechanically actuate a component of the projection exposure apparatus. The actuator system has at least one mechanism to reduce and/or dampen the heat input into the component that is due to heat arising during the operation of the actuator system.

Claim (Index 41):
A projection exposure apparatus, comprising:\n an optical element; a mount for the optical element; an actuator system to mechanically actuate the optical element, the actuator system comprising a heat transport element in thermal contact with the mount to transfer heat generated during use of the actuator system away from the actuator system to reduce heat input into the optical element from the actuator system during use of the actuator system; and a first control/regulating unit to drive the heat transport element to reduce heat input into the optical element, wherein:\n the optical element comprises an optical element selected from the group consisting of a refractive optical element, a diffractive optical element an a reflective optical element; \n the heat transport element has a thermal conductivity of at least 400 W/(m*K); and the projection exposure apparatus is a semiconductor microlithography projection exposure apparatus.
