Abstract

The present invention relates to a pellicle frame including a frame base, a black anodized film formed on a surface of the frame base and having a thickness of 2.0 to 7.5 μm, and a transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film formed on the anodized film, and a production method thereof; and to a pellicle including the pellicle frame and a pellicle film provided on one end face of the pellicle frame.

Claims (9)

1. A pellicle frame comprising a frame base, a black anodized film formed on a surface of the frame base and having a thickness of 2.0 to 7.5 μm, and a transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film formed on the anodized film.

2. The pellicle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film does not contain a heterogeneous component existing heterogeneously relative to the transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film.

3. The pellicle frame according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film does not contain a dye.

4. The pellicle frame according to claim 1 , wherein a visible light transmittance of the transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film is more than 50%.

5. A pellicle comprising the pellicle frame according to claim 1 and a pellicle film provided on one end face of the pellicle frame.

6. A method of producing a pellicle frame, comprising:

a step of forming an anodized film having a thickness of 2.0 to 7.5 μm on a surface of a frame base;

a step of coloring the anodized film black; and

a step of forming a transparent polymer electrodeposition coating film on the anodized film, in this order.
