    摘要: A method of lithographically transferring a pattern on a light sensitive surface in a multiple exposure process comprises the following steps: a) providing a mask comprising a first mask pattern area and a second mask pattern area; b) directing projection light on the mask, thereby producing on the light sensitive surface a first exposed pattern area, which is an image of the first mask pattern area, and a second exposed pattern area, which is an image of the second mask pattern area. The projection light illuminating the first and second mask pattern area has different angular light distributions. c) repeating step b) using the same mask so that an image of the first mask pattern area is superimposed on the second exposure pattern area.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to an illumination system of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus. The illumination system can include a depolarizer which in conjunction with a light mixing system disposed downstream in the light propagation direction at least partially causes effective depolarization of polarized light impinging on the depolarizer. The illumination system can also include a microlens array which is arranged upstream of the light mixing system in the light propagation direction. The microlens array can include a plurality of microlenses arranged with a periodicity. The depolarizer can be configured so that a contribution afforded by interaction of the depolarizer with the periodicity of the microlens array to a residual polarization distribution occurring in a pupil plane arranged downstream of the microlens array in the light propagation direction has a maximum degree of polarization of not more than 5%.

    摘要: An optical system for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus and a microlithographic exposure method are disclosed. In an embodiment an optical system for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes at least one mirror arrangement having a plurality of mirror elements which are displaceable independently of each other for altering an angular distribution of the light reflected by the mirror arrangement. The optical system also includes at least one manipulator downstream of the mirror arrangement in the light propagation direction. The manipulator has a raster arrangement of manipulator elements so that light incident on the manipulator during operation of the optical system is influenced differently in its polarization state and/or in its intensity in dependence on the incidence location.
