    摘要: An imaging optical unit for EUV projection lithography serves to image an object field into an image field. Mirrors guide imaging light from the object field to the image field. An aperture stop is tilted by at least 1° in relation to a normal plane which is perpendicular to an optical axis. The aperture stop has a circular stop contour. In mutually perpendicular planes, a deviation of a numerical aperture NAx measured in one plane from a numerical aperture NAy measured in the other plane is less than 0.003, averaged over the field points of the image field. What emerges is an imaging optical unit, in which homogenization of an image-side numerical aperture is ensured so that an unchanging high structure resolution in the image plane is made possible, independently of an orientation of a plane of incidence of the imaging light in the image field.
