Zusammenfassung: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.
