A pellicle for a mask or substrate including a frame having one end surface and another end surface and a membrane extended over the frame on the one end surface side. A channel is formed in the other end surface of the frame. The channel is filled with a layer of a tackifier capable of expanding upon heating and/or light irradiation such that the tackifier layer does not protrude outward beyond the other end surface of the frame in an unexpanded state, but protrudes outward beyond the other end surface of the frame when expanded. No liner is attached to the tackifier layer.
