Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides a fly eye lens which is applied to a proximity exposure machine optical system. The fly lens includes a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly, wherein the first lens assembly includes a plurality of lenses which form a first lens face, and the second lens assembly includes a plurality of lenses which form a second lens face. The first lens face is used to split an incident broad light beam into narrow light beams and then refract the narrow light beams onto the second lens face, and the second lens face is used to dispersively refract the received narrow light beams onto a concave mirror in the optical system. A lens closer to a center of the second lens face has a higher transmittivity, and a lens farther from the center of the second lens face has a lower transmittivity. According to the embodiment of the present invention, since different lenses on the second lens face have different transmittivities, the illuminances of light radiated to different regions of a mask plate through the fly eye lens are different, and thus the uniformity of the critical dimensions of the exposed patterns can be improved to a certain extent.
