Abstract: A method of manufacturing a membrane assembly for EUV lithography, wherein a layer which forms at least part of a pellicle membrane is provided after one or more etching steps which define a pellicle border holding the pellicle membrane. Also provided is a pellicle substrate, the substrate including: a stack having a front face and back face, wherein one or more layers on the back face of the stack have been selectively removed to define a pellicle border region for holding the pellicle membrane before the layer which forms at least part of a pellicle membrane has been provided.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes a first object holder and a second object holder. The first object holder is arranged to hold an object at a holder-facing surface. The object has the holder-facing surface. The second object holder is arranged to hold the object at the holder-facing surface. The lithographic apparatus is arranged to deform a contaminating particle at the holder-facing surface more when the object is held at the second object holder than when the object is held at the first object holder.

Abstract: A method comprising the steps of receiving a mask assembly comprising a mask and a removable EUV transparent pellicle held by a pellicle frame, removing the pellicle frame and EUV transparent pellicle from the mask, using an inspection tool to inspect the mask pattern on the mask, and subsequently attaching to the mask an EUV transparent pellicle held by a pellicle frame. The method may also comprise the following steps: after removing the pellicle frame and EUV transparent pellicle from the mask, attaching to the mask an alternative pellicle frame holding an alternative pellicle formed from a material which is substantially transparent to an inspection beam of the inspection tool; and after using an inspection tool to inspect the mask pattern on the mask, removing the alternative pellicle held by the alternative pellicle frame from the mask in order to attach to the mask the EUV transparent pellicle held by the pellicle frame.

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-oxidising environment. In any aspect, the pellicle may include a metal nitride layer.

Abstract: A pellicle suitable for use with a patterning device for a lithographic apparatus. The pellicle comprising at least one breakage region which is configured to preferentially break, during normal use in a lithographic apparatus, prior to breakage of remaining regions of the pellicle. At least one breakage region comprises a region of the pellicle which has a reduced thickness when compared to surrounding regions of the pellicle.
