    摘要: To prevent reflective optical elements (2) for EUV lithography from becoming electrically charged as they are irradiated with EUV radiation (4), an optical system for EUV lithography is proposed, having a reflective optical element (2), including a substrate (21) with a highly reflective coating (22) emitting secondary electrons when irradiated with EUV radiation (4), and a source (3) of electrically charged particles, which is arranged in such a manner that electrically charged particles are applied to the reflective optical element (2), wherein the source (3) for the charge carrier compensation is exclusively a flood gun applying electrons to the reflective optical element (2).

    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%.
