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: A method of manufacturing a pellicle membrane, the method including: providing a first sacrificial layer on a planar substrate to form a stack; and providing, to at least a portion of the stack, at least one metal silicide or doped metal silicide pellicle core layer which forms at least part of the pellicle membrane is described. Also described is a pellicle membrane assembly having a substrate, a first sacrificial layer, and at least one metal silicide or doped metal silicide pellicle layer which forms at least part of a pellicle core, as well as a lithography apparatus including such a pellicle.

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 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.
