Abstract
A pellicle is provided to one end surface of end surfaces of a frame. Another end surface of the end surfaces of the frame has an area that opposes a substrate. A configuration is adopted that prevents the deformation of the one end surface of the frame and the shape of the opposing area on the other end surface from affecting one another.
