Patent number: 6594073Abstract: An antistatic pellicle for use with deep-ultraviolet light. The pellicle is coated with a thin metal oxide layer that has high transmissivity for deep-ultraviolet light and an electrical resistivity low enough to minimize electrostatic discharge. The metal oxide layer may be produced by a sol-gel process using a reactive polyvalent metal sol-precursor. The sol-precursor is converted to a sol, the sol is applied to a membrane so that it produces a gel on a surface of the membrane, and then the gel is dried to a coating.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Micro Lithography, Inc.Inventor: Ching-Bore Wang

Patent number: 6573980Abstract: Optical pellicles for photomasks are described, where the optical pellicle is configured to be reversibly affixed to the photomask with a non-adhesive mounting member, such as a vacuum system or an electrostatic film. The optical pellicles of the invention are readily removed from the photomask and reattached without the use of adhesives, and are well-suited for use by automated methods.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Micro Lithography, Inc.Inventor: Ching-Bore Wang

Patent number: 6190743Abstract: The present invention provides a photomask protection system for minimizing contamination resulting from the removal of a pellicle from a photomask. The system comprises a continuous wall attached to the photomask and disposed between the region of the mask where the pellicle attaches and the photomask pattern. The wall is dimensioned to fit within the pellicle and to be spaced from the pellicle membrane and the pellicle frame. The wall minimizes the likelihood that any contaminants generated by the removal of a pellicle frame from the photomask surface will reach the photomask pattern. The wall may be coated with an adhesive to capture any contaminants that contact it.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1998Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Micro Lithography, Inc.Inventor: Ching-Bore Wang

Patent number: 5820950Abstract: An optical pellicle and package are disclosed. The optical pellicle includes a pellicle membrane and a pellicle frame with a cover side, a membrane side and an outer edge. The pellicle membrane is mounted and covers a substantial portion of the membrane side of the pellicle frame. The membrane side of the pellicle frame includes a peripheral region that extends beyond the pellicle membrane. In one embodiment of the invention, the peripheral region includes a relieved portion at the periphery of the membrane side of the pellicle frame. Another embodiment includes one of the previously described optical pellicles and a package. The package includes a first piece and a second piece. The first piece includes a structure for supporting an optical pellicle. The structure is configured to support the optical pellicle so that the pellicle membrane is free from contact with the first piece of the package.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1996Date of Patent: October 13, 1998Assignee: Micro Lithography, Inc.Inventor: Ching-Bore Wang

Patent number: 5453816Abstract: A protective mask is provided for use with a pellicle which is mounted to a photomask during photolithography, with a light source being directed toward the photomask. The pellicle includes a pellicle membrane mounted to a pellicle frame by a first adhesive layer and with the pellicle frame being mounted to the photomask by a second adhesive layer. The protective mask is fabricated of an opaque material and is positioned between the light source and the two adhesive layers to shield them from the light source.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1994Date of Patent: September 26, 1995Assignee: Micro Lithography, Inc.Inventor: Ching-Bore Wang
