    摘要: There is provided an optical element for forming an arc-shaped field in a field plane of an illumination system for light having a wavelength of less than or equal to about 193 nanometers. The optical element includes a plurality of mirror surfaces, each having an array of aspherical reflecting elements. The array of aspherical reflecting elements has a plurality of cylindrical mirrors with aspheric curvature in an x-direction. The plurality of mirror surfaces form a nested mirror and includes a pair of adjacent mirror surfaces that have a spacing dspace therebetween. The arc-shaped field has an axis of symmetry. The field plane is defined by a vector in a y-direction that is parallel to the axis of symmetry, and a vector in the x-direction, which is orthogonal to the axis of symmetry.

    摘要: The invention concerns an illumination system, particularly for microlithography with wavelengths ≦193 nm, comprising a light source, a first optical component, a second optical component, an image plane and an exit pupil. The first optical component transforms the light source into a plurality of secondary light sources being imaged by the second optical component in said exit pupil. The first optical component comprises a first optical element having a plurality of first raster elements, which are imaged into said image plane producing a plurality of images being superimposed at least partially on a field in said image plane. The first raster elements deflect incoming ray bundles with first deflection angles, wherein at least two of the first deflection angles are different. The first raster elements are preferably rectangular, wherein the field is a segment of an annulus. To transform the rectangular images of the first raster elements into the segment of the annulus, the second optical component comprises a first field mirror for shaping the field to the segment of the annulus.
