Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pellicle and a photomask with a pellicle, which can reduce the risk of deteriorating the outer surface of the reticle, caused by moisture and oxygen in the air present in a space surrounded by the pellicle and the reticle. SOLUTION: A pellicle is formed by applying a translucent film 2 on the outer surface of a pellic1e frame 1. The pellicle frame 1 has a vent hole 6 for charging and discharging gas and a plug 7 for blocking the hole 6. The pellicle is applied to each of the front and rear surfaces of a reticle 3, and thereafter, gas 5 is filled in the space surrounded by the pellicle frame 1, the translucent film 2 and the reticle 3.

A conventional pellicle will be described with reference to FIG. In a conventional pellicle, a translucent thin film 2 such as nitrocellulose is attached to the surface of a pellicle frame 1 made of a metal, for example, an aluminum alloy, and fixed on a reticle 3 with an adhesive. At this time, air enters the space 4 surrounded by the pellicle frame 1, the transparent thin film 2 and the reticle 3. Since air contains moisture, if a reticle with a pellicle is used for a long period of time, it may be used in the manufacturing process of the reticle 3, and the residue such as sulfuric acid, etc., which is attached to the surface of the reticle 3 in a very small amount, The reaction may occur and the surface of the reticle 3 may become cloudy. When the surface of the reticle deteriorates, the light transmission intensity varies depending on the position of the reticle, so that the exposure amount varies.
Further, when the halftone phase shift mask is used, the shifter causes a chemical reaction with the residue, and the initial phase shift amount and transmittance of the shifter change.

In order to improve the resolution of the stepper, it is effective to shorten the wavelength of the light source. Therefore, KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248 nm)
A stepper using an ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193 nm) as a light source has been receiving attention. Other candidates for the light source include F 2 excimer laser (wavelength 157 nm) and Xe 2
Excimer lamps (wavelength 172 nm) are also under consideration.
However, when the wavelength of light is 200 nm or less, absorption of light by oxygen contained in the air cannot be ignored. The absorption of light lowers the transmittance and deteriorates the surface of the reticle due to the generated ozone.

Further, when the wavelength of light becomes 180 nm or less, it is necessary to use CaF 2 or MgF 2 instead of synthetic quartz which has been conventionally used as a reticle substrate. These materials have higher deliquescent properties than synthetic quartz and are prone to chemical changes, so the reticle deteriorates more severely.

Next, still another embodiment of the photomask with a pellicle of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. An opening 9 for injecting or exhausting gas is formed in the pellicle frame 1. A filter 10 for removing dust is attached to the opening 9.
Therefore, the air permeability of the space surrounded by the pellicle frame 1, the translucent thin film 2 and the reticle 3 is ensured. When a light source having a wavelength shorter than 200 nm, for example, an ArF excimer laser is used as the light source of the stepper, it is necessary to fill the inside of the stepper with nitrogen in order to reduce light absorption. When the photomask with a pellicle shown in FIG. 3 is put in a stepper, the air in the space surrounded by the pellicle frame 1, the transparent thin film 2 and the reticle 3 is rapidly replaced with nitrogen.
