Abstract: A pellicle assembly is disclosed that has a pellicle frame defining a surface onto which a pellicle is to be attached. The pellicle assembly includes one or more three-dimensional expansion structures that allow the pellicle to expand under stress. There is also disclosed a pellicle assembly for a patterning device, the pellicle assembly including one or more actuators for moving the pellicle assembly towards and way from the patterning device.
