  • Publication number: 20240402590
    Abstract: A pellicle includes an adhesive layer. At least one of an inner wall surface or an outer wall surface of the adhesive layer satisfies Formula (1) below. ( [ A 2 ? s ] ? / [ A 5 ? 0 ? s ] ) ? 0 . 9 ? 7 Formula ? ( 1 ) In Formula (1), A2 s represents a normalized intensity of a partial structure contained in a main agent component obtained by analyzing a first deep portion having a first depth from a surface of the adhesive layer by TOF-SIMS. The first depth is formed by irradiating a 600 ?m square area of the surface with a sputter ion gun for a total of 2 seconds. A50 s represents a normalized intensity of a partial structure contained in a main agent component obtained by analyzing a second deep portion where the depth is a second depth by TOF-SIMS. The second depth is formed by irradiating the area with the sputter ion gun for a total of 50 seconds.

  • Publication number: 20240377726
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a pellicle that includes: a pellicle frame; a pellicle film supported at one end surface of the pellicle frame; and an adhesive layer provided at another end surface of the pellicle frame, and satisfies the following Equation (1): [A60° C.]?4.0 gf/mm2 (1). In Equation (1), [A60° C.] represents a first peel strength when the pellicle is used in a test laminated body. The test laminated body is obtained by placing the pellicle on a quartz glass substrate such that the adhesive layer is in contact with a surface of the quartz glass substrate, and maintaining a load on the pellicle under prescribed conditions. The first peel strength represents a load per unit adhesion area, which load is required for peeling the pellicle included in the test laminated body from the quartz glass substrate using a standard universal tester under prescribed conditions.
