Paper Abstract

The purpose of EUV pellicles is to protect the surface of EUV lithography masks from particle contamination. Currently several pellicle prototypes are being developed. It is important to ensure that the optical characteristics of the pellicle membrane do not critically affect the reticle image quality. We present here a study of the impact of a few selected EUV pellicle prototypes on the quality and the contrast of the reticle image obtained with an actinic lensless microscope.
