Pellicle
a thin transparent layer stretched over a frame above the surface of a mask or reticle. Pellicles are used to block particles from reaching the mask or reticle surface where the particle would be in the focal plane. Any particles on the pellicle surface are out of the focal plane and should not form and image on the wafer being exposed.
