    Abstract: An illumination optics for EUV microlithography illuminates an object field with the aid of an EUV used radiation beam. Preset devices preset illumination parameters. An illumination correction device corrects the intensity distribution and/or the angular distribution of the object field illumination. The latter has an optical component to which the used radiation beam is at least partially applied upstream of the object field and which can be driven in a controlled manner. A detector acquires one of the illumination parameters. An evaluation device evaluates the detector data and converts the latter into control signals. At least one actuator displaces the optical component. During exposures, the actuators are controlled with the aid of the detector signals during the period of a projection exposure. A maximum displacement of below 8 μm is ensured for edges of the object field towards an object to be exposed. The result is an illumination optics that is used to ensure conformance with preset illumination parameters even given the most stringent demands upon precision.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an illumination system, such as an illumination system for use in microlithography. The illumination system can include an optical element with multiple primary light sources. The illumination system can illuminate a field in a field plane having a field contour. The illumination system can be configured so that each primary light source illuminates an area in the field plane that is smaller than a size of an area encircled by the field contour.

    Abstract: A microlithography reduction objective formed from six mirrors arranged in a light path between an object plane and an image plane is provided. The microlithography reduction objective is characterized by having an image-side numerical aperture NA≧0.15. In some embodiments, the mirror closest to the image plane, i.e., the fifth mirror is arranged such that an image-side optical free working distance is greater than or equal to a used diameter of a physical mirror surface of the fifth mirror, a physical mirror surface being the area of a mirror where light rays from the object impinge. The fifth mirror may be arranged such that an image-side optical free working distance is greater than or equal to the sum of one-third the used diameter of the physical mirror surface on the fifth mirror and a length between 20 mm and 30 mm. The fifth mirror may be arranged such that the image-side optical free working distance is at least 50 mm, as well. The image-side free working distance is the physical distance between the vertex of the surface of the fifth mirror and the image plane. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: The invention concerns an illumination system, particularly for microlithography with wavelengths ≦193 nm, comprising a light source, a first optical component, a second optical component, an image plane and an exit pupil. The first optical component transforms the light source into a plurality of secondary light sources being imaged by the second optical component in said exit pupil. The first optical component comprises a first optical element having a plurality of first raster elements, which are imaged into said image plane producing a plurality of images being superimposed at least partially on a field in said image plane. The first raster elements deflect incoming ray bundles with first deflection angles, wherein at least two of the first deflection angles are different. The first raster elements are preferably rectangular, wherein the field is a segment of an annulus. To transform the rectangular images of the first raster elements into the segment of the annulus, the second optical component comprises a first field mirror for shaping the field to the segment of the annulus.
