Abstract
A metrology system serves to examine an object arranged in an object field using EUV illumination light. An illumination optics of the metrology system has a collector mirror which is arranged in the beam path directly downstream of an EUV light source. Downstream of the collector mirror, less than three additional illumination mirrors are arranged in the beam path between the collector mirror and the object field. An intermediate focus is arranged in the beam path between the collector mirror and the additional illumination mirror. The metrology system further includes a magnifying imaging optics for imaging the object field into an image field in an image plane. As a result a metrology system is obtained which comprises an illumination optics that ensures an efficient illumination of the object field by means of illumination parameters which are well adapted to the illumination situation of current EUV projection exposure apparatuses.
