In a lithographic apparatus, an illumination mode is set using a field mirror that includes a plurality of movable facets to direct radiation to selectable positions on a pupil facet mirror. A base illumination mode is selected from a set of predetermined illumination modes and the movable facets are set to effect that mode. In order to adjust an imaging parameter, a fraction of the movable facets are set to different positions. The determination of which facets to set to different positions is based on summing the effects of setting each facet to a different position.

An illumination system of a lithographic apparatus includes a plurality of reflective elements arranged to receive radiation from a radiation source, the reflective elements being movable between different orientations. In the different orientations, the reflective elements direct radiation towards different locations at a reflective component in a pupil plane of the illumination system, thereby forming different illumination modes. Each reflective element is moveable between a first orientation, which directs radiation towards a first location the pupil plane, and a second orientation, which directs radiation towards a second location in the pupil plane. The first orientation and the second orientation of the reflective element are defined by end stops.

In a lithographic apparatus, an illumination mode is set using a field mirror comprising a plurality of movable facets to direct radiation to selectable positions on a pupil facet mirror. In the event that a field facet mirror is defective and cannot be set to a desired position, another of the movable facet mirrors is set to a corrective position, different than its desired position, to at least partially ameliorate a deleterious effect of the defective facet mirror.

An illumination system is disclosed that had a plurality of moveable reflective elements and associated actuators which may be configured to form an illumination mode. One or more of the actuators is arranged to move between first, second and third positions, and so move an associated moveable reflective element between first, second and third orientations, the first and second orientations being such that radiation reflected from the moveable reflective element forms part of the illumination mode, and the third orientation being such that radiation reflected from the moveable reflective element does not form part of the illumination mode.

An illumination system having a plurality of reflective elements, the reflective elements being movable between different orientations which direct radiation towards different locations in a pupil plane, thereby forming different illumination modes. Each reflective element is moveable to a first orientation in which it directs radiation to a location in an inner illumination location group, to a second orientation in which it directs radiation to a location in an intermediate illumination location group, and to a third orientation in which it directs radiation to a location in an outer illumination location group. The reflective elements are configured to be oriented to direct equal amounts of radiation towards the inner, intermediate and outer illumination location groups, and are configured to be oriented such that they can direct substantially no radiation into the outer illumination location group and direct substantially equal amounts of radiation towards the inner and intermediate illumination location groups.

An illumination system includes a field-facet mirror-device and a pupil mirror configured to condition a beam of radiation incident on the field-facet mirror-device. The field-facet mirror-device includes reflective field facets movable between first and second orientations relative to the incident beam. The field facets in their first orientations are effective to reflect the incident radiation towards respective reflective pupil facets so as to form part of a conditioned beam reflected from the pupil-facet mirror-device. The field facets in their second orientations are effective to reflect the incident radiation onto respective areas of the pupil-facet mirror-device designated as beam dump areas. The areas are arranged to prevent radiation incident on the areas from forming part of the conditioned beam and are arranged between the limits of an annular area on the pupil-facet mirror-device effective to define the inner and outer regions of the conditioned beam reflected from the pupil-facet mirror-device.
