Abstract:
A pellicle including a water-soluble adhesive and a photomask assembly including the pellicle are provided. A pellicle may include a membrane, a pellicle frame, and a water-soluble adhesive disposed on the pellicle frame. The water-soluble adhesive may be prepared by a mixture including a water-soluble acrylic adhesive material in an amount of about 40% to about 55% by weight of the mixture, water or a solution of water and alcohol in an amount of about 40% to about 55% by weight of the mixture, and an additive in an amount of about 1% to about 5% by weight of the mixture.
Abstract:
A reflective photomask blank, a reflective photomask and an integrated circuit device manufactured by using a reflective photomask, include a multi-layered reflection layer; a capping layer on the multi-layered reflection layer and including a first transition metal; a passivation film contacting at least a portion of the capping layer on a side opposite to the multi-layered reflection layer and including a second transition metal and a nitrogen (N) atom; and a light absorption pattern covering a portion of the capping layer.
