IPC: G03F1/64
Abstract: The invention relates to a pellicle assembly comprising a pellicle frame defining a surface onto which a pellicle is attached. The pellicle assembly comprises one or more three-dimensional expansion structures that allow the pellicle to expand under stress. The invention also relates to a pellicle assembly for a patterning device comprising one or more actuators for moving the pellicle assembly towards and way from the patterning device.

Abstract: A wafer including a mask on one face and at least one layer on an opposite face, wherein the mask has at least one scribeline which overlies at least a portion of the opposite face which is substantially free of the at least one layer is described. Also described is a method of preparing a pellicle, the method including: providing a wafer having a mask on one face and at least one layer on an opposite face, defining a scribeline in the mask, and selectively removing a portion of the at least one layer which at least partially overlies the scribeline as well as a method of preparing a pellicle, the method including: providing a pellicle core, and removing at least some material from at least one face of the pellicle core in a non-oxidizing environment. In any aspect, the pellicle may include a metal nitride layer.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a membrane assembly where, in one arrangement, a stack includes a planar substrate and at least one membrane layer. The planar substrate includes an inner region, a border region around the inner region, a bridge region around the border region and an edge region around the bridge region. The inner region and a first portion of the bridge region are removed. The membrane assembly after removal has: a membrane formed from the at least one membrane layer, a border holding the membrane, the border formed from the border region, an edge section around the border, the edge section formed from the edge region, a bridge between the border and the edge section, the bridge formed from the at least one membrane layer and a second portion of the bridge region. The method further involves separating the edge section from the border by cutting or breaking the bridge.
