Abstract:
An illuminator for a lithography system is provided. The illuminator includes a mask positioned along an optical axis and first and second refractive groupings positioned along the axis in cooperative arrangement with the mask. Also included are first and second reflecting devices for reflecting an image output from the first and second refractive groupings and a spatial light modulator (SLM) positioned along the axis in cooperative arrangement with the first and second reflecting devices. The active areas of the mask and the SLM are positioned off-axis.
