    摘要: An illumination system for a microlithographic projection exposure step-and-scan apparatus has a light source, a first optical raster element and a second optical raster element. The first optical raster element extends in a first pupil plane of the illumination system and is designed such that the geometrical optical flux of the system is increased perpendicular to a scan direction of the projection exposure apparatus. The second optical raster element extends in a second pupil plane of the illumination system, which is not necessarily different from the first pupil plane, and is designed such that the geometrical optical flux of the system is increased in the scan direction and perpendicular thereto. This makes it possible to improve the irradiance uniformity in a reticle plane.

    摘要: An illumination system for microlithography serves to illuminate an illumination field with illumination light of a primary light source. A first raster arrangement has bundle-forming first raster elements which are arranged in a first plane of the illumination system or adjacent to the plane. The first raster arrangement serves to generate a raster arrangement of secondary light sources. A transmission optics serves for superimposed transmission of the illumination light of the secondary light sources into the illumination field. The transmission optics has a second raster arrangement with bundle-forming second raster elements. In each case one of the raster elements of the first raster arrangement is allocated to one of the raster elements of the second raster arrangement for guiding a partial bundle of an entire bundle of illumination light. The first raster arrangement for example has at least two types (I, II, III) of the first raster elements which have different bundle-influencing effects. The raster elements of the two raster arrangements are arranged relative to one another in such a way that to each raster element type (I to III) is allocated at least one individual distance (ΔI, ΔII, ΔIII) between the first raster element of this type (I to III) and the allocated second raster element of the second raster arrangement. As a result, an illumination system is obtained which allows particular illumination parameters to be influenced in such a way that undesirable influences on other illumination parameters are avoided to the greatest extent possible.

    摘要: An illumination system for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes a light source (1) for generating projection light, a masking arrangement (5) for masking a reticle (R) and a masking objective (6) for imaging the masking arrangement (5) on the reticle (R). A polarizer (10) for generating linearly polarized light is arranged in the masking objective (6). The polarizer (10) may comprise, for example, polarization-selective beam splitting layers (54, 56; 154, 156; 292, 294) arranged at an angle to one another, which are transparent to light in a first polarisation state (68) and reflect light in different second polarisation state (70).
