Abstract: A method for fabricating a pellicle assembly for a lithography process includes fabricating a pellicle frame including a sidewall having a porous material. In some embodiments, the pellicle frame is subjected to an anodization process to form the porous material. The porous material includes a plurality of pore channels extending, in a direction perpendicular to an exterior surface of the sidewall, from the exterior surface to an interior surface of the sidewall. In various embodiments, a pellicle membrane is formed, and the pellicle membrane is attached to the pellicle frame such that the pellicle membrane is suspended by the pellicle frame. Some embodiments disclosed herein further provide a system including a membrane and a pellicle frame that secures the membrane across the pellicle frame. In some examples, a portion of the pellicle frame includes a porous material, where the porous material includes the plurality of pore channels.

Abstract: A photomask having a machine-readable identifying mark and suitable for manufacturing integrated circuit devices and a method for forming the photomask and identifying mark are disclosed. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving a design layout corresponding to a pattern to be formed on a photomask blank. A specification of an identifying code is also received along with the photomask blank, which includes a substrate, a reflective layer, and an absorptive layer. A first patterning is performed using the design layout. A second patterning is performed using the specification of the identifying code.

Abstract: A method for preparing a pellicle assembly includes reducing the thickness of one or more initial membrane(s) to obtain a pellicle membrane. The pellicle membrane is then affixed to a mounting frame to obtain the pellicle assembly. Compressive pressure can be applied to reduce the thickness of the initial membrane(s). Alternatively, the thickness can be reduced by stretching the initial membrane(s) to obtain an extended membrane. A mounting frame is then affixed to a portion of the extended membrane. The mounting frame and the portion of the extended membrane are then separated from the remainder of the extended membrane to obtain the pellicle assembly. The resulting pellicle assemblies include a pellicle membrane that is attached to a mounting frame. The pellicle membrane can be formed from nanotubes and has a combination of high transmittance, low deflection, and small pore size.

Abstract: A pellicle assembly includes a pellicle membrane and a conformal coating on an outer surface of the pellicle membrane. The pellicle membrane can be formed with multiple layers and has a combination of high transmittance, low deflection, and small pore size. The conformal coating is intended to protect the pellicle membrane from damage that can occur due to heat and hydrogen plasma created during EUV exposure.
