A projection objective for imaging a pattern arranged in an object surface of the projection objective into an image surface of the projection objective with a demagnified imaging scale has a plurality of optical elements which are arranged along an optical axis of the projection objective and are configured in such a way that a defined image field curvature of the projection objective is set in such a way that an object surface that is curved convexly with respect to the projection objective can be imaged into a planar image surface. What can be achieved given a suitable setting of the object surface curvature is that a gravitation-dictated bending of a mask does not have a disturbing effect on the imaging quality. |
