Abstract:
Projection exposure methods, systems, sub-systems and components are disclosed. Methods can include performing a first exposure to image a first sub-pattern of the pattern, where the first sub-pattern includes a plurality of first features extending in a first direction and spaced apart essentially periodically at a predominant periodicity length P in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first exposure can be performed using a multipolar illumination mode that includes at least one substantially dipolar intensity distribution having two illumination poles positioned on a pole orientation axis substantially parallel to the second direction and spaced apart from each other.

Claim (Index 47):
The illumination system of  claim 39 , wherein the pupil shaping unit further comprises a pair of axicon elements having axicon surfaces, one concave and one convex, wherein at least one of the axicon elements is movable along an optical axis of the illumination system to allow adjusting a distance between the axicon surfaces.
