Abstract: A method for forming EUV LITHOGRAPHY GLASS STRUCTURES WITH VOIDS is disclosed which includes forming a slurry mixture including silica soot particles, and inserting the slurry mixture into a casting mold. The method provides low weight mass reduced rigid glass structures with beneficial thermal stability. The casting mold includes therein a casting form. The casting form is adapted to provide selected geometry void spaces within the glass lithography structure. The slurry mixture is dried to form a green ware object. The casting form is removed from the green ware and the green ware object is consolidated into a lithography glass structure with voids.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing glass bodies of doped silicate glass is disclosed. The process involves flame hydrolysis, wherein precursors for the forming of the doped glass are fed together with fuel gases into a single burner. A first formed body is generated on a target. The doped silicate glass produced in this way offers a low density of defects and a small breadth of striae. Preferably the first formed body is subsequently formed into a second formed body having a larger breadth and a smaller length than the first formed body. Thereby, the breadth of striae and the density of defects in the doped silica glass is further reduced.

Abstract: An improved sol-gel process is disclosed for producing a synthetic silica glass article, in which a sol is formed having a silica loading as high as 34 to 40%. This high loading is achieved by introducing an aqueous colloidal silica suspension into a silicon alkoxide solution and slowly stirring the mixture together, during which time the mixture hydrolyzes and the colloidal suspension is broken down by chemical reaction. This produces a hydrolyzed sol incorporating a suspension of very fine aggregates of colloidal particles, having particle sizes less than about 10 microns. The need for a stabilizing agent and/or continuous ultra-sonicating or violently stirring the sol is eliminated.

Abstract: Deuterium oxide, D2O, also called heavy water, is used for the hydrolysis of silanes and metal compounds. The D2O-hydrolyzed silanes polycondense much easier than H2O-hydrolyzed silanes, resulting in a fast SinullOnullSi network build up. The most important feature of using D2O is that the final materials are 100% free of OnullH and the residual OnullD bond does not have an absorption peak in the wavelength range of 1.0 to 1.8 nullm, which is crucial in reducing optical loss at the wavelengths of 1.3 and especially 1.55 nullm. OnullH free sol-gel materials with low optical loss have been developed based on this process. D2O may be applied in all kinds of hydrolysis-processes, such as the sol-gel process of silanes and metal compounds, the synthesis of polysiloxane, and may be extended to other silica and metal-oxides deposition processes for example, flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD) whenever water is used or OnullH bond involved. The concept of replacing OnullH bond with OnullD bond is applicable to any OnullH bond containing materials used in optical based telecommunication.

Abstract: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the UV-C and UV-B bands, which is particularly dangerous, is absorbed and filtered by quartz glass doped with between 0.065% and 3.25%, and preferably between 0.065% and 1.3%, by weight, of cerium metal, or cerium as such. Preferably, the cerium is added to quartz sand and/or rock crystal, in form of a fine-grained powder of up to 20 .mu.m grain size, in form of cerium aluminate (CeAlO.sub.3), present in up to about 5% by weight, and preferably up to about 2%, by weight, and melted together in a single step. The quartz glass so obtained is particularly suitable for a metal halide discharge lamp, e.g. as an outer envelope (1), or as the discharge vessel (27) itself, or for halogen incandescent lamps, to form the quartz-glass light bulb or an envelope therefor. A small quantity of titanium oxide, up to about 0.05%, may be added as a further doping agent to the melt to further improve the UV absorption in the B and C bands.
