Mask holders are disclosed for holding a mask used during a microlithographic exposure. The mask holder comprises an outer frame and an inner frame. The outer frame contacts the periphery of a main surface of the mask to hold the mask. The inner frame is connected to the outer frame, and contacts an inner portion of said main surface of the mask to hold the mask. The mask holder can include one or more electrostatic and/or vacuum chucks, a thermally conductive material that contacts the mask whenever the mask is being held by the mask holder, and/or an electrically conductive material to discharge accumulated electrical charge on the mask during use.
