Abstract
In general, in one aspect, the invention features a system that includes a catoptric projection objective having an optical axis and including a plurality of projection objective elements positioned between an object plane and an image plane, the object and image planes being orthogonal to the optical axis, the projection objective being configured so that during operation the projection objective directs radiation reflected at the object plane to the image plane to form an image at the image plane of an object positioned in a field at the object plane, the field having a first dimension of 8 mm or more and a second dimension of 8 mm or more, the first and second dimensions being along orthogonal directions. The system also includes an illumination system including a plurality of illumination system elements, the illumination system being configured so that during operation the illumination system directs the radiation to the field at the object plane, where a chief ray of the radiation has an angle of incidence of 10° or less at the object plane.
