Pellicle film, pellicle frame, pellicle, and method for producing same

Abstract

A pellicle is contaminated with dust or the like for various reasons during the production thereof. Especially, there is a problem that the risk that the dust or the like is attached is high during trimming or various other processes performed on a pellicle film. The present invention provides a method for producing a pellicle for EUV that decreases the attachment of dust or the like. A method for producing a pellicle includes forming a pellicle film on a substrate; trimming the substrate; and removing at least a part of the substrate after trimming the substrate. Before the part of the substrate is removed, at least particles attached to a surface of the pellicle film are removed.
