  • Patent number: 8259290
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pupil filter used for the illumination optical system of a semiconductor aligner or the like that can prevent a decrease in the quantity of light having transmitted through it, enhance the efficiency of semiconductor exposure, reduce loads of correction by the optical proximity effect and yield a stable yet high-resolution optical image without engendering size fluctuations of a pattern imaged on a wafer depending on a mask pattern pitch. Specifically, the invention provides a diffractive optical device for the formation of a pupil filter used for the illumination optical system of an aligner adapted to direct light emanating from a light source to a mask via an illumination optical system and project a pattern on the mask onto an alignment substrate and exposing it to light via a projection optical system. The pupil filter formed by the diffractive optical device is a dipole pupil comprising two light transmissive areas (11).
