A static resistant reticle comprises a substrate and a patterning layer
and is covered by an antistatic conductive film of quaternary amine
(R.sub.4N).sup.+Cl.sup.-. A pellicle structure comprising an optically
transparent membrane tightly stretched on a frame is also coated by an
antistatic electro conductive film of a similar material. The reticle
with the pellicle form a shielded structure isolating the reticle from
ESD.
