    摘要: A lighting system, particularly for use in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, comprising a projection lens for producing semiconductor elements for wavelengths ≦193 nm is provided with a light source, an object plane, an exit pupil, a first optical element having first screen elements for producing light channels, and with a second optical element having second screen elements. A screen element of the second optical element is assigned to each light channel that is formed by one of the first screen elements of the first optical element. The screen elements of the first optical element and of the second optical element can be configured or arranged so that they produce, for each light channel, a continuous beam course from the light source up to the object plane. The angles of the first screen elements of the first optical element can be adjusted in order to modify a tilt. The location and/or angles of the second screen elements of the second optical element can be adjusted individually and independently of one another in order to realize another assignment of the first screen elements of the first optical element to the second screen elements of the second optical element by displacing and/or tilting the first and second screen elements.

    摘要: An optical system for semiconductor lithography including a plurality of optical components, as well as related components and methods, are disclosed. The apparatus can include an optical component that can be moved by a distance along a straight line within a time of between 5 ms and 500 ms. The straight line can have a polar and azimuth angle of between 0° and 90°, and a distance between the straight line and an optical axis of the apparatus being less than a cross-sectional dimension of a projection exposure beam bundle of the projection exposure apparatus. The apparatus can also include a guide unit configured to guide the optical component. The apparatus can further include a drive unit configured to drive the optical component via drive forces so that torques generated by inertial forces of the optical component and of optional components concomitantly moved with the optical component, and the torques generated by the drive forces, which act on the guide unit, compensate for one another to less than 10%.

    摘要: In a method of connecting a multiplicity of optical elements (9) to a basic body (8), in particular for producing a faceted mirror (1), for example for beam mixing and field imaging for an EUV lighting system, the individual optical elements (9) are positioned on the basic body (8, 14) and subsequently connected to one another by an galvanoplastic process. Alternatively, the multiplicity of optical elements are aligned on an auxiliary structure (11) and the optical elements (9) are subsequently made to grow up galvanoplastically on their rear sides, forming a supporting structure (14) as the basic body.
