Abstract
An illumination optical unit for projection lithography illuminates an illumination field, in which an object field of a downstream imaging optical unit and an object to be illuminated are arrangeable, with illumination light of an EUV light source. The illumination optical unit includes two facet mirrors for reflecting, overlaid guidance of partial beams of a beam of the EUV illumination light via exactly one facet of one of the two facet mirrors in each case. The facet mirror is a distance from a pupil plane of the illumination optical unit. Individual mirrors of the other facet mirror, which is arranged in, or in the vicinity of, a field plane that is conjugate to the object field, may be grouped into individual mirror groups which are tiltable together.
