    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a silica-titania-niobia glass and to a method for making the glass. The composition of the silica-titania-niobia (SiO2—TiO2—Nb2O5) glass, determined as the oxides, is Nb2O5 in an amount in the range of 0.005 wt. % to 1.2 wt. %, TiO2 in an amount in the range of 5 wt. % to 10 wt. %, and the remainder of glass is SiO2. In the method, the STN glass precursor is consolidated into a glass by heating to a temperature of 1600° C. to 1700° C. in flowing helium for 6 hours to 10 hours. When this temperature is reached, the helium flow can be replaced by argon for the remainder of the time. Subsequently the glass is cooled to approximately 1050° C., and then from 1050° C. to 700° C. followed by turning off the furnace and cooling the glass to room temperature at the natural cooling rate of the furnace.

    Abstract: Silica-titania glasses with small temperature variations in coefficient of thermal expansion over a wide range of zero-crossover temperatures and methods for making the glasses. The method includes a cooling protocol with controlled anneals over two different temperature regimes. A higher temperature controlled anneal may occur over a temperature interval from 750° C.-950° C. or a sub-interval thereof. A lower temperature controlled anneal may occur over a temperature interval from 650° C.-875° C. or a sub-interval thereof. The controlled anneals permit independent control over CTE slope and Tzc of silica-titania glasses. The independent control provides CTE slope and Tzc values for silica-titania glasses of fixed composition over ranges heretofore possible only through variations in composition.

    Abstract: A titania-doped quartz glass suited as an EUV lithographic member is prepared by feeding a silicon-providing reactant gas and a titanium-providing reactant gas through a burner along with hydrogen and oxygen, subjecting the reactant gases to oxidation or flame hydrolysis to form synthetic silica-titania fine particles, depositing the particles on a rotating target, and concurrently melting and vitrifying the deposited particles to grow an ingot of titania-doped quartz glass. The target is retracted such that the growth front of the ingot may be spaced a distance of at least 250 mm from the burner tip.

    Abstract: A titania and sulfur co-doped quartz glass member is provided. Due to co-doping of titania and sulfur, the quartz glass member undergoes zero expansion at a certain temperature and low thermal expansion over a wide temperature range, and is thus suited for use in a commercial EUV lithography tool. A manufacturing method and an optical member for EUV lithography are also provided.
