Summary:A method for manufacturing a membrane assembly for EUV lithography, the method comprising: providing a stack comprising a planar substrate and at least one membrane layer, wherein the planar substrate comprises an inner region and a border region around the inner region; positioning the stack on a support such that the inner region of the planar substrate is exposed; and selectively removing the inner region of the planar substrate using a non-liquid etchant, such that the membrane assembly comprises: a membrane formed from the at least one membrane layer; and a border holding the membrane, the border formed from the border region of the planar substrate.
