Abstract:
A method for forming a pellicle apparatus involves forming a device substrate by depositing one or more pellicle layers defined over a base device layer, where a release layer is formed thereover. An adhesive layer is formed over a transparent carrier substrate. The adhesive layer is bonded to the release layer, defining a composite substrate comprised of the device and carrier substrates. The base device layer is removed from the composite structure and a pellicle frame is attached to an outermost one of the pellicle layers. A pellicle region is isolated from a remainder of the composite structure, and an ablation of the release layer is performed through the transparent carrier substrate, defining the pellicle apparatus comprising a pellicle film attached to the pellicle frame. The pellicle apparatus is then from a remaining portion of the composite substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pellicle apparatus, comprising:\n a composite structure having a thickness of less than approximately 500 nanometers, the composite structure comprising:\n a first pellicle layer having a first surface and a second surface; \n a second pellicle layer having a third surface and a fourth surface, wherein the third surface interfaces with the second surface of the first pellicle layer; and \n a third pellicle layer having a fifth surface and a sixth surface, wherein the fifth surface interfaces with the fourth surface of the second pellicle layer; and \n a pellicle frame connected to outer edges of the first surface of the first pellicle layer and configured to mount the composite structure to an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) reticle, wherein the first surface and the sixth surface face opposite directions.
