Abstract
The invention provides a temperature balancing device for a projection objective of a lithography machine. The device comprises at least one temperature sensor, at least one heat-absorbing light-transmitting layer and an objective temperature balancing control unit, wherein the temperature sensor is disposed adjacent to the projection objective for sensing the temperature difference of the projection objective in different areas; the heat-absorbing light-transmitting layer is positioned below the projection objective for absorbing radiation energy in the laser beams transmitted from the lithography machine and transmitting the laser beams; and the objective temperature balancing control unit is used for controlling the absorption degree and light transmission degree of the heat-absorbing light-transmitting layer according to the temperature difference sensed by the temperature sensor. The invention also discloses a method for balancing temperature of a projection objective of a lithography machine.
