ABSTRACT:
A freely standing thin pellicle film of cellulose acetate buterate is formed by spinning on a rotating substrate. After forming, the film is lifted off of the substrate and secured to a metallic frame. The pellicle is for use in the mid ultraviolet range of 280 to 360 nanometers, but can be used also in the deep ultraviolet range, e.g. wavelengths as low as about 240 nanometers. The pellicle prevents dust particles from being focused on a surface which is to be exposed by the ultraviolet radiation.
