A method of cleaning a reticle pod and an exposure method, the method of cleaning the reticle pod including receiving the reticle pod that includes an inner pod and an outer pod surrounding the inner pod; disassembling the inner pod from the outer pod; inspecting a surface of a base plate of the inner pod to detect defects; performing a local plasma cleaning process at a defect location on the surface of the base plate; performing a wet cleaning process on the inner pod; and reassembling the inner pod to the outer pod.

Cleaning method and cleaning system for reticle pod

Provided is a pellicle to be used in a photolithography process. The pellicle a film, at least a portion of which includes carbon allotropes. The film has a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface, the film comprises a doped region including dopants, the doped region adjacent to the first surface, the dopants include least one of boron or nitrogen, and the doped region comprises a bond between an atom of at least one of the dopants and a carbon atom.

Pellicle and reticle including the same

Disclosed are reticle management methods and semiconductor device fabrication methods. The reticle management method includes inspecting a reticle using a first inspection method, inspecting a reticle pod storing the reticle using a second inspection method different from the first inspection method, and cleaning the reticle pod when a particle is present on the reticle pod.
