[0002] With the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, the demand for computing power has become increasingly prominent, and the semiconductor integrated circuit industry has achieved exponential growth. In order to meet the needs of chip miniaturization and low energy consumption, it is necessary to make the circuit line width on the chip as fine as possible. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to further reduce the line width on the photomask used as the master in photolithography.

[0003] During the production of the mask, an extremely clean production environment needs to be maintained. Dust particles, gases, chemical solvents, etc. in the environment may adhere to the surface of the mask during the process or storage of the mask, causing crystallization and other damage to the mask surface. In general wafer processes, mask boxes are usually used to store and transport masks to keep them clean. In recent years, in order to produce more sophisticated chips, the cleanliness requirements for masks have gradually increased. During the production and transportation of masks, water and oxygen in the ambient atmosphere will also have an adverse effect on the mask process, causing distortion of the pattern and reducing the chip yield. Therefore, during the transportation and storage of the mask, a mask box that can isolate the adverse external atmosphere is needed.
