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.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an apparatus for shielding a reticle for EUV lithography. The apparatus comprises a pellicle, and at least one actuator in communication with the pellicle, the actuator being configured to induce, in use, movement of the pellicle with respect to a reticle.

Abstract: A method for inspection of a patterning device. The method includes obtaining (i) patterning device apparatus data of a patterning device making process, (ii) a patterning device substrate map based on the patterning device apparatus data, and (iii) predicted process window limiting pattern locations corresponding to the patterning device based on the patterning device substrate map, and based on the process window limiting pattern locations, guiding a patterning device inspection apparatus to the process window limiting pattern locations for defect inspection.

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.
