Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes detaching an upper shell of a reticle pod from a base. The method further includes while the upper shell is detached from the base, blocking an inlet flow of gas from entering an interior of the reticle pod between the upper shell and the base with a use of a fluid regulating module which is in a sealed state. In the sealed state of the fluid regulating module, an opening of the fluid regulating module is covered with a sealing film. The method also includes removing a reticle positioned on the base to a process tool. In addition, the method includes performing a lithography operation in the process tool with the use of the reticle.

Abstract: A reticle pod is provided. The reticle pod includes a container and a fluid regulating module mounted to the container. The fluid regulating module includes a first cap, a second cap and a sealing film. The first cap and the second cap are connected to each other. A flowing path is formed between the first cap and the second cap for allowing a fluid passing through the fluid regulating module. The sealing film is positioned between the first cap and the second cap and configured for regulating a flow of the fluid passing through the flowing path.

Abstract: A method includes performing a beam scan on a photolithography mask to repair the photolithography mask. After the beam scan, a radiation treatment is performed on the photolithography mask. The method is performed by an apparatus including a beam generator configured to generate and project a beam on the lithography mask, a radiation source configured to generate a radiation on the lithography mask, and a process gas source configured to release a process gas onto the lithography mask. The process as reacts with a surface portion of the lithography mask to repair the lithography mask. With the radiation treatment, residue process gas on the lithography mask is removed.

Abstract: A method for generating extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation includes introducing a fuel droplet; applying a first laser beam to strike the fuel droplet at a location to generate EUV radiation and form a movable debris of the fuel droplet; and forming an energy field proximal to the location of the first laser beam strike to trap the movable debris. An EUV radiation source includes a fuel droplet generator, a first laser, a collector and an energy field. The fuel droplet generator is configured to provide a fuel droplet. The first laser is configured to generate a first laser beam to strike the fuel droplet at a location to generate EUV radiation and form a movable debris. The collector is configured to reflect the EUV radiation. The energy field is configured to trap the movable debris, wherein the energy field is proximal to the location of the first laser beam strike.
