    Abstract: Pellicles or films are disclosed that are suitable for use as protective covers for EUV device lithography reticles (patterning structures). The pellicles pass radiation of wavelength 5nm to 20nm whilst acting as a barrier to particulate deposits on reticles, which would otherwise lead to defects in devices patterned using the reticles. Also disclosed are reticle assemblies and lithographic apparatus including such pellicles, as well as methods for forming the pellicles. The pellicles may have a multilayer configuration, with the central region having two or more layers of silicon alternating with layers of the refractory material. Silicon oxide or nitride may be used as an interfacial layer for adhesion/anti-diffusion between the silicon and the refractory material. The pellicles are capable of self-support when tensioned over a reticle, without need of a support grid, even when sufficiently thin to permit high EUV transmissivity.

    Abstract: An article such as an EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography reticle is inspected to detect contaminant particles. The inspection apparatus (900) comprises illumination optics (602) with primary radiation (λρ). An imaging optical system with plural branches is arranged to form and detect a plurality of images, each branch having an image sensor (610,910) and forming its image with a different portion of radiation received from the illuminated article. A processor (PU) combines information from the detected images to report on the presence and location of contaminant particles. In one or more branches the primary radiation is filtered out(612), so that the detected image is formed using only secondary radiation emitted by contaminant material in response to the primary radiation. In a dark field imaging branch using the scattered primary radiation, a spatial filter (918) blocks spatial frequency components associated with periodic features of the article under inspection, to allow detection of particles which cannot be detected by secondary radiation.
