Abstract:
A silica glass has a structure determination temperature of 1200K or lower and a hydrogen molecule concentration of 1.times.10.sup.17 molecules/cm.sup.3 or more. The silica glass is used together with light in a wavelength region of 400 nm or shorter. The silica glass is produced by heating a silica glass ingot having a hydrogen molecule concentration of 1.times.10.sup.17 molecules/cm.sup.3 or more to a temperature of 1200-1350K, retaining the ingot at that temperature for a given period of time, and then, cooling the ingot to a temperature of 1000K or lower at a temperature-lowering rate of 50K/hr or less to anneal the ingot.

Abstract:
A synthetic quartz glass optical member for an ultraviolet laser, suitably applicable as a stepper lens of a lithographer using an excimer laser beam and other optical members, wherein the quartz glass has a hydroxyl content of 10 to 100 ppm, a chlorine content of 200 ppm or less, a hydrogen content of 1.times.10.sup.16 molecules/cm.sup.3 or less, a homogeneity of refractive index of 5.times.10.sup.-6 or less in terms of .DELTA.n, and a birefringence of 5 nm/cm or less. The optical member can be produced by subjecting a volatile silicon compound to flame hydrolysis with oxyhydrogen flame, depositing the formed particulate silica on a heat-resistant support to prepare a porous silica matrix, heating the matrix in a vacuum as high as 1.times.10.sup.-2 Torr or above to a temperature of 1,400 .degree. C. or above to effect dehydration and degassing, homogenizing the resultant transparent quartz glass into highly homogeneous quartz glass free from striae in at last one direction, molding the highly homogeneous quartz glass, and annealing the molded glass.
Abstract:
A synthetic quartz glass substrate (1) supporting active elements is formed of high-purity synthetic quartz glass having, a hydroxyl group content of 200 ppm or below and chlorine group content of 50 ppm or below. The substrate (1) may have an impurity level of 1 ppm or less sodium and 1 ppm or less aluminum. TFTs (6), i.e., active elements, and picture element electrodes (7) are formed on the surface of the synthetic quartz glass substrate (1) to construct a driving panel for a liquid crystal display of an active matrix type. A liquid crystal panel is formed by disposing the driving panel and a counter substrate (2) opposite to each other and sandwiching a liquid crystal layer (3) between the driving panel and the counter substrate (2).
