Abstract: A method for manufacturing a membrane assembly for EUV lithography, the method including: providing a stack including a membrane layer between a supporting substrate and an attachment substrate, wherein the supporting substrate includes an inner region and a border region; processing the stack, including selectively removing the inner region of the supporting substrate, to form a membrane assembly comprising: a membrane formed from at least the membrane layer; and a support holding the membrane, the support formed at least partially from the border region of the supporting substrate. The attachment substrate can be bonded to the rest of the stack.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a membrane assembly for EUV lithography, the method comprising: providing a stack comprising a planar substrate and at least one membrane layer, wherein the planar substrate comprises an inner region and a border region around the inner region; positioning the stack on a support such that the inner region of the planar substrate is exposed; and selectively removing the inner region of the planar substrate using a non-liquid etchant, such that the membrane assembly comprises: a membrane formed from the at least one membrane layer; and a border holding the membrane, the border formed from the border region of the planar substrate.

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.

Abstract: A mask assembly suitable for use in a lithographic process. The mask assembly comprises a patterning device, a sub-frame secured to the patterning device, a pellicle frame configured to support a pellicle and a mechanical attachment interface operable to allow attachment of the pellicle frame to the sub-frame and detachment of the pellicle frame from the sub-frame.
