    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method used for controlling a polarization state of an emitted beam. SOLUTION: A polarization control unit is configured to adjust a polarization state of at least a part of an emitted beam. A measurement arrangement is configured to successively measure the polarization state of the part of the emitted beam. A feedback unit is configured to supply a signal to a polarization control arrangement based on the measured polarization state in order to correct the deviation of the polarization state of the part of the emitted beam from a desired polarization state. For instance, the correction makes the polarization state of the part of the emitted beam surely come into the desired polarization state or return to the desired polarization state.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for generating unpolarized radiation beam for substantially reducing variation in critical dimension in the pattern formed on a substrate. SOLUTION: A system and method for generating unpolarized beam from polarized beam are employed. The system comprises a radiation source and an unpolarizing system. The radiation source generates linear polarized beam. The unpolarizing system comprises a first optical path and a second optical path to split a linear polarized beam. The split first beam advances along the first optical path of a first optical path length. The split second beam advances along the second optical path having a second optical path length of different optical path length. The split first beam and second beam are synthesized to generate an unpolarized beam. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
