Correcting variations in the intensity of light within an illumination field without distorting the telecentricity of the light
摘要:
An apparatus for changing an aggregate intensity of a light within an illumination field of a photolithography system comprising a blade structure and a first actuator. The blade structure is configured to be positioned along an optical path of the photolithography system between an illumination system of the photolithography system and a reticle stage of the photolithography system so that, when the illumination system provides the light having the illumination field, the blade structure is substantially at a center of the illumination field and a first portion of the light within the illumination field impinges upon the blade structure. The blade structure is either translucent to a wavelength of the light or opaque to the wavelength. The first portion of the light has a first area. The first actuator is coupled between a first portion of the blade structure and a frame of the photolithography system and is configured to move at least the first portion of the blade structure in a first direction so that, when the illumination system provides the light having the illumination field, a second portion of the light within the illumination field impinges upon the blade structure. The second portion of the light has a second area. The second area is different from the first area.
