摘要:
The present invention describes an extrusion process for manufacturing a titanium-containing silicate glass honeycomb structure (100), having a variety of shapes and sizes depending on its ultimate application. The titanium-containing glass honeycomb has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the CTE can be varied by adjusting the titanium level to match the CTE of members that are bonded to the honeycomb. Furthermore, the inventive honeycomb structure is lightweight, yet able to advantageously used as a light-weight support for such objects as mirrors. Especially extraterrestrial environments where temperature extremes are present. These honeycombs can be used singularly or in aggregates to provide such support. Embodiments are described wherein the mass of the honeycomb is further reduced by removing select portions of the honeycomb without deleteriously impacting its ability for load bearing.

The present invention relates to reflective masks and their use for reflecting extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray photons to enable the use of extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray radiation projection lithographic methods and systems for producing integrated circuits and forming patterns with extremely small feature dimensions. The projection lithographic method includes providing an illumination sub-system for producing and directing an extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray radiation μ from an extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray source; providing a mask sub-system illuminated by the extreme ultraviolet soft x-ray radiation μ produced by the illumination sub-system and providing the mask sub-system includes providing a patterned reflective mask for forming a projected mask pattern when illuminated by radiation μ. Providing the patterned reflective mask includes providing a Ti doped high purity SiO2 glass wafer with a patterned absorbing overlay overlaying the reflective multilayer coated Ti doped high purity SiO2 glass defect free wafer surface that has an Ra roughness ≤0.15 nm. The method includes providing a projection sub-system and a print media subject wafer which has a radiation sensitive wafer surface wherein the projection sub-system projects the projected mask pattern from the patterned reflective mask onto the radiation sensitive wafer surface.

A lithographic stage includes a platen (31) having a top face and a bottom face and a holder (32) for holding an optical component on the top face of the platen. The platen is made of a light-weight material such as high purity fused silica or ultra low expansion glass. The bottom face of the platen may further include means for connecting to a positioning device in an extreme ultraviolet lithography system.

摘要:
The present invention describes a glass honeycomb structure (100) having a variety of shapes and sizes depending on its ultimate application. Unlike prior art honeycomb structures made from ceramics, the inventive glass honeycomb can be readily bent and/or redrawn. Furthermore, the inventive honeycomb structure is light-weight, yet able to support heavy loads on its end faces (10a, 10b). Therefore, the inventive honeycomb can be used as a light-weight support for such objects as mirrors. Other useful properties of the extruded glass honeycomb are its high softening temperature, its transparency to ultraviolet and visible light, and its ability to be redrawn. Embodiments that rely upon one or more of these properties include: a bio-reactor, a membrane reactor, a capillary flow controller, a high efficiency filtration system, in-situ water treatment, high temperature dielectric material, and photonic band gap material.

Unlike prior art honeycomb structures made from ceramics, the inventive glass honeycomb (100) can be readily viscously bent and/or redrawn. Furthermore, the inventive honeycomb structure (100) is light-weight, yet able to support heavy loads on its end faces (10a, 10b). Therefore, the inventive honeycomb (100) can be used as a light-weight support for such objects as mirrors. These honeycombs (100) can be used singularly or in aggregates to provide such support.
