Title:
CATADIOPTRIC PROJECTION OBJECTIVE WITH TILTED DEFLECTING MIRRORS, PROJECTION EXPOSURE APPARATUS, PROJECTION EXPOSURE METHOD, AND MIRROR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016095523
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide catadioptric projection objectives that have tilted deflecting mirrors which allows imaging of patterns including sub-patterns oriented in various directions.SOLUTION: A first deflecting mirror has a first reflective coating with reflectivity R(α) for s-polarized light and a reflectivity R(α) for p-polarized light incident on the first deflecting mirror at first angles of incidence αfrom a first range of angles of incidence according to (t-Δα)≤α<(t+Δα). The second deflecting mirror has a second reflective coating with a reflectivity Rs2(α) for s-polarized light and a reflectivity R(α) for p-polarized light incident on the second deflecting mirror at second angles of incidence αfrom a second range of angles of incidence according to (t-Δα)≤α≤(t+Δα). A first reflectivity sum, R, for s-polarized light of polar edge rays accumulated upon reflection on the first and second deflecting mirrors is substantially equal to a second reflectivity sum, Rfor p-polarized light of equatorial edge rays accumulated upon reflection on the first and second deflecting mirrors.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
