摘要:
Proposed herein is a method for producing a substrate suitable for mask blanks for EUVL and the method being capable of suppressing a concave defect having a depth of less than 5 nm. The present invention provides a method for producing a substrate in which final polishing is performed by a polishing apparatus having an upper polishing plate equipped with a polishing pad, the method comprising the steps of placing a substrate stock in the polishing apparatus so that the main surface of the substrate stock face toward the upper polishing plate; rotating the upper polishing plate and polishing the substrate stock concomitantly with a polishing slurry on the main surface of the substrate stock; and raising the upper polishing plate which is kept being rotated to separate it from the main surface of the polished substrate stock.

A synthetic quartz glass cavity member (1) is bonded to a substrate (6) having an optical device (7) mounted thereon such that the device may be accommodated in the cavity member. The cavity member (1) has an inside surface consisting of a top surface (2a) opposed to the device (7) and a side surface (3a). The top surface (2a) is a mirror surface and the side surface (3a) is a rough surface.

A rectangular glass substrate has a front surface, a back surface, four side surfaces, and eight chamfered surfaces, and a thickness of at least 6 mm. A first curved surface along the edge line between the front surface and the chamfered surface disposed adjacent thereto has an average gradient of up to 25% in a range from the front surface to a position of 50 μm below the front surface when the substrate is rested horizontal with the front surface facing upward. A second curved surface along the edge line between at least one of four side surfaces and the chamfered surface disposed adjacent to the front surface has an average gradient of at least 30% in a range from the at least one side surface to a position of 50 μm below the at least one side surface when the substrate is rested horizontal with the at least one side surface facing upward.

摘要:
A bonding and sealing material includes, as the essential ingredients, a solder powder, silver nanoparticles coated with a coating material and a solvent, and additionally includes at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of selenium metal, oxide film inhibitors and oxide film removers. This bonding and sealing material can easily form under mild conditions a metallic adhesive layer having good hermetic sealability and UV resistance of the sort desired when sealing a short-wavelength light-emitting device such as a UV-LED, and can be stably used over a long period of time.
摘要:
A large-size synthetic quartz glass substrate has a diagonal length of at least 1,000 mm. Provided that an effective range is defined on the substrate surface, and the effective range is partitioned into a plurality of evaluation regions such that the evaluation regions partly overlap each other, a flatness in each evaluation region is up to 3 μm. From the quartz glass substrate having a high flatness and a minimal local gradient within the substrate surface, a large-size photomask is prepared.

摘要:
Synthetic quartz glass substrates are prepared by furnishing a synthetic quartz glass block, coating two opposed surfaces of the glass block with a liquid having a transmittance of at least 99.0%/mm at a birefringence measuring wavelength, measuring a birefringence of the glass block by directing light thereacross, determining a slice thickness on the basis of the birefringence measurement and the dimensions of the substrate, and slicing the glass block at the determined slice thickness.
