    摘要: A method is provided. The method includes detaching an upper shell of a reticle pod from a base. The method further includes while the upper shell is detached from the base, blocking an inlet flow of gas from entering an interior of the reticle pod between the upper shell and the base with a use of a fluid regulating module which is in a sealed state. In the sealed state of the fluid regulating module, an opening of the fluid regulating module is covered with a sealing film. The method also includes removing a reticle positioned on the base to a process tool. In addition, the method includes performing a lithography operation in the process tool with the use of the reticle.
