    摘要: An illumination system for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus comprises a masking device and a masking objective which projects the masking device onto an image plane. The illumination system further includes an optical correction element having a surface that is either aspherically shaped or supports diffractive structures that have at least substantially the effect of an aspherical surface. This surface is arranged at least approximately in a field plane which precedes the image plane of the masking objective The aspherically acting surface is designed such that a principal ray distribution generated by the illumination system in the image plane matches a principal ray distribution required by a projection objective.

    摘要: An illumination system for a microlithography projection exposure apparatus is designed for illuminating an illumination field with an illumination radiation with a predeterminable degree of coherence σ, it being possible to adjust the degree of coherence within a degree of coherence range extending into the range of very small degrees of coherence of significantly less than σ=0.2. The illumination system may have a first optical system for generating a predeterminable light distribution in an entrance plane of a light mixing device, and also a light mixing device for homogenizing the impinging radiation. The first optical system and the light mixing device can in each case be changed over between a plurality of configurations corresponding to different degree of coherence ranges. The degree of coherence ranges overlap and are dimensioned such that the resulting total degree of coherence range is larger than the individual degree of coherence ranges.

    摘要: An illumination system for a microlithography projection exposure installation is used to illuminate an illumination field with the light from a primary light source (11). The illumination system has a light distribution device (25) which receives light from the primary light source and, from this light, produces a two-dimensional intensity distribution which can be set variably in a pupil-shaping surface (31) of the illumination system. The light distribution device has at least one optical modulation device (20) having a two-dimensional array of individual elements (21) that can be controlled individually in order to change the angular distribution of the light incident on the optical modulation device. The device permits the variable setting of extremely different illuminating modes without replacing optical components.
