Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to provide a pellicle having, on the inside of the pellicle frame, a tacky layer which exhibits excellent performance for holding foreign matters such as dust or dirt suspended in space defined by the pellicle and the mask, and resistance against light of short wavelengths such as excimer beam. The pellicle comprises a pellicle frame, a pellicle film stretched on one side of said pellicle frame, and a tacky layer formed on the inside of said pellicle frame and containing a greasy fluorine-contained resin.
