Illumination system with reduced energy load

The system has an optical axis (OA) with a rod integrator (3) with inlet and outlet surfaces, an objective (11) for imaging an object field (13) on an image field (15). The objective is after the integrator and is arranged in a lens-free intermediate volume containing a plane optically conjugated to...

Zusammenfassung:The system has an optical axis (OA) with a rod integrator (3) with inlet and outlet surfaces, an objective (11) for imaging an object field (13) on an image field (15). The objective is after the integrator and is arranged in a lens-free intermediate volume containing a plane optically conjugated to the inlet surface plane. The thickness of the lens-free surface is at least 30 mm thick along the optical axis, especially at least 50 mm. Independent claims are also included for the following: a microlithographic projection illumination system.
