摘要:
A used large-size photomask substrate having a patterned light-shielding film is recycled by (i) removing the light-shielding film from the used substrate to provide a photomask-forming glass substrate stock, (ii) resurfacing the glass substrate stock by sand blasting, (iii) repolishing the resurfaced glass substrate stock to yield a regenerated glass substrate stock, (iv) applying a light-shielding film onto the regenerated glass substrate stock to yield a regenerated photomask-forming blank, and (v) processing the light-shielding film of the blank into a pattern corresponding to the desired exposure of a mother glass, yielding a regenerated photomask substrate.
摘要:
A photomask-forming glass substrate having a square major surface is provided wherein two strip regions are defined on the major surface near a pair of opposed sides such that each region spans between 2 mm and 10 mm inward of the side and excludes end portions extending 2 mm inward from the opposed ends of the side, a least squares plane is computed for each of the two strip regions, the angle included between normal lines to the least squares planes of two strip regions is within 10 seconds, and the height difference between two strip regions is up to 0.5 µm.

摘要:
A large-size synthetic quartz glass substrate is produced by measuring a flatness and parallelism of front and back surfaces of a synthetic quartz glass substrate stock having a diagonal length of at least 1,000 mm, and partially removing raised portions and thick portions of the substrate stock on the basis of the measured data of flatness and parallelism. The removing step includes abrasive working by a first working tool having a diameter of 15-50% of the diagonal length, and abrasive working by a second working tool having a smaller diameter.
