The programmable patterning structure includes a plurality of separate patterning sub-elements, each sub-element being configured to generate a patterned sub-beam. At least one of the separate patterning sub-elements is configured to generate a patterned sub-beam whose cross-section contains regions of different intensities. The imaging apparatus also includes a combining structure configured to combine the plurality of patterned sub-beams into a single patterned image, and a projection system configured to project the patterned image onto a target portion of a substrate.

摘要: A wide field optically athermalized orthoscopic lens system includes, in order from object to image, a first lens having a negative power, a second lens having a positive power, a third lens group having a positive power, a fourth lens having a positive power and a fifth lens having a negative power.

摘要: The present invention provides an illumination system for varying the size of an illumination field incident to a scattering optical element. The illumination field is subsequently imaged to a reticle in a photolithographic process. The illumination system includes, in series along an optical axis of the illumination system, an optical source, a beam conditioner, a first optical integrator, a first or input collimating lens, a zoom array integrator (ZAI), a second or output collimating lens, the optical scattering element, a relay lens, and the reticle. The ZAI includes an assembly of fixed and moveable lens components arranged to vary the size of the illumination field throughout a zoom range of the ZAI while maintaining telecentric illumination at a substantially fixed numerical aperture. Illumination telecentricity and substantially fixed numerical apertures are maintained at both the scattering optical element and the reticle throughout the zoom range.
