Abstract: A method of treating a surface of a reticle includes retrieving a reticle from a reticle library and transferring the reticle to a treatment device. The surface of the reticle is treated in the treatment device by irradiating the surface of the reticle with UV radiation while ozone fluid is over the surface of the reticle for a predetermined irradiation time.
