Abstract

See full text

An illumination optical unit for EUV projection lithography serves for illuminating an illumination field in which an object field of a downstream imaging optical unit is arranged. An object displaceable in an object displacement direction is in turn arrangeable in the object field. A facet mirror of the illumination optical unit has a plurality of facets arranged alongside one another and serving for the reflective, superimposing guidance of partial beams of a beam of EUV illumination light to the object field. The facet mirror is arranged such that a position of the respective facet on the facet mirror and an impingement region of an illumination light partial beam on the respective facet of the facet mirror predefine an illumination direction for the field points of the object field.
