Köhler Illumination A method of illuminating the mask in a projection imaging system whereby a condenser lens forms an image of the illumination source at the entrance pupil of the objective lens, and the mask is at the exit pupil of the condenser lens.

Example: The use of Köhler illumination has become standard in projection lithography due to its superior uniformity.

 

KrF Krypton Fluoride, a type of excimer laser used in optical lithography that emits light at about 248 nm.

Example: KrF exposure tools have been the most popular lithographic tools since the 250-nm resolution node.
