    摘要: A microlithography projection exposure apparatus for producing microelectronic components has at least two operating states. The microlithography projection exposure apparatus includes a reflective mask in an object plane. In the first operating state, a first partial region of the mask is illuminated by a first radiation, which has an assigned first centroid direction having a first centroid direction vector at each point of the first partial region. In the second operating state, a second partial region of the mask is illuminated by a second radiation, which has an assigned second centroid direction having a second centroid direction vector at each point of the second partial region. The first and the second partial region have a common overlap region. Furthermore, the microlithography projection exposure apparatus can be configured in such a way that at each point of at least one partial region of the overlap region the scalar triple product of the normalized first centroid direction vector, the normalized second centroid direction vector and a normalized vector that is perpendicular to the mask is less than 0.05.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus and a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, as well as related components, methods and articles made by the methods. The microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes an illumination system and a projection objective. The illumination system can illuminate a mask arranged in an object plane of the projection objective. The mask can have structures which are to be imaged. The method can include illuminating a pupil plane of the illumination system with light. The method can also include modifying, in a plane of the projection objective, the phase, amplitude and/or polarization of the light passing through that plane. The modification can be effected for at least two diffraction orders in mutually different ways. A mask-induced loss in image contrast obtained in the imaging of the structures can be reduced compared to a method without the modification.

    摘要: A magnifying imaging optical system is disclosed that has precisely three mirrors, which image an object field in an object plane into an image field in an image plane. A ratio between a transverse dimension of the image field and a transverse dimension measured in the same direction of a useful face of the last mirror before the image field is greater than 3. In a further aspect, the magnifying imaging optical system is disclosed that has at least three mirrors, which image an object field in an object plane in an image field in an image plane. A first mirror in the beam path after the object field is concave, a second mirror is also concave and a third mirror is convex. An angle of incidence of imaging beams on the last mirror before the image field is less than 15°.

    摘要: An illumination optical system for projection lithography for the illumination of an illumination field has a facet mirror. An optical system, which follows the illumination optical system, has an object field which can be arranged in the illumination field of the illuminate optical system. The facet mirror has a plurality of facets to reflectively guide part bundles of a bundle of illumination light. Reflection faces of the facets are tiltable in each case. In a first illumination tilt position, the tiltable facets guide the part bundle impinging on them along a first object field illumination channel to the illumination field. In a different illumination tilt position, the tiltable facets guide the part bundle impinging on them along a different object field illumination channel to the illumination field. The reflection faces of the tiltable facets are configured so that the part bundle in the at least two illumination tilt positions is reflected with a degree of reflection R coinciding within a tolerance range of +/−10%. The result is an illumination optical system which avoids an undesired influence of the illumination tilt position of the tiltable facets on the illumination light throughput of the illumination optical system.
