Title:
OPTICAL INTEGRATOR, ILLUMINATION OPTICAL DEVICE, PHOTOLITHOGRAPH, PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY, AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/070580
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An optical integrator having characteristics suppressing the influence of the relative positioning error of a pair of optical members on the illuminance distribution and the profile of the illuminated field. The wavefront splitting optical integrator (8) comprises a first optical member (8a) and a second optical integrator (8b) arranged sequentially from the light incident side. The first optical member has a plurality of first entrance surfaces (8aa) exhibiting a diffraction power in the first direction (Z direction) but not exhibiting any diffraction power in the second direction (X direction), and a plurality of first exit surfaces (8ab) exhibiting a diffraction power in the first direction but not exhibiting any diffraction power in the second direction. The second optical member has a plurality of second entrance surfaces (8ba) exhibiting a diffraction power in the second but not exhibiting any diffraction power in the first direction, and a plurality of second exit surfaces (8bb) exhibiting a diffraction power in the second direction but not exhibiting any diffraction power in the first direction.
