Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus is provided for mounting a pellicle to a photomask. A chamber has at least one port for filling the chamber with extreme clean dry air (XCDA) or an inert gas. A pellicle mounter is provided within the chamber. The mask is irradiated with a vacuum ultra violet (VUV) light in an atmosphere of the XCDA or inert gas, and the pellicle is mounted to the mask while the mask is in the atmosphere of the XCDA or inert gas and exposed to the VUV light. An assembly includes the mask attached to a pellicle frame by a pressure sensitive adhesive; and a pellicle joined to the pellicle frame, forming a sealed enclosure, the sealed enclosure being filled with extreme clean dry air (XCDA) or inert gas. |
