Abstract:
In a method for predicting at least one illumination parameter for evaluating an illumination setting for illuminating an object field of a projection exposure apparatus, illumination parameters are measured at a number of calibration settings, correction terms for prediction values of the illumination parameters are determined from the measured values, and then at least one illumination parameter of at least one illumination setting, which is not contained in the set of n calibration settings, is predicted.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of using an illumination optical unit to illuminate a field with an illumination setting, the illumination optical unit comprising a facet element for generating a plurality of illumination settings with a plurality of illumination channels, the method comprising:\n calibrating a model for predicting a plurality of illumination parameters depending on the illumination setting by:\n measuring actual values of illumination parameters for a number of calibration settings; \n determining correction terms for prediction values of a first subset of the illumination parameters taking into account the measured actual values; and \n updating the model taking into account correction terms for prediction values of a second subset of the illumination parameters.
