    摘要: The present invention describes a glass honeycomb structure 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 lightweight, yet able to support heavy loads on its end faces. 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.

    摘要: The present invention describes an extrusion process for manufacturing a titanium-containing silicate glass honeycomb structure, 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 support heavy loads on its end faces. Therefore, the inventive honeycomb can be advantageously used as a light-weight support for such objects as mirrors. Especially contemplated is using these inventive honeycomb supports for mirrors used in extraterresial 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.

    摘要: The invention discloses a method for forming substantially striae-free glass substrates that are suitable for optical applications, including use in forming optical elements or structures such as mirrors and platen stage structures that can be used, for example, in EUV lithography. The method includes forming a mixture of silica soot, binder, lubricant and solvent. The homogenized mixture is then extruded through a slit die or mask into a flat planar pre-form, and the extruded pre-form is then consolidated by heating into a substantially full density, substantially striae-free lithography glass substrate structure. The consolidated perform has a substantially uniform coefficient of thermal expansion and is also substantially void free.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for forming an optical device. The method includes providing a glass aggregate. Typically, the glass aggregate is a mixture of fine glass soot particles and coarser ground or milled glass powder. The glass particles are mixed with a liquid to form a slurry which is cast in a mold to form a porous pre-form. Subsequently, the porous pre-form is consolidated into a glass object by heating the pre-form at a relatively high temperature. The method of the present invention produces optical components having substantially no striae. As a result, scattering is substantially reduced when EUV light is reflected from a component produced from the optical blank.

    摘要: A method of making an EUV lithography stage structure includes depositing a layer of a Ti doped SiO2 glass powder in a confined region to provide an underlying layer; applying a binder to form a primitive with the binder bonding the glass powder together at one or more selected regions; depositing an above layer of the glass powder above the deposited layer; applying the binder to the above layer with the binder bonding the glass powder together at one or more selected regions; repeating the deposition and binding steps to produce a number of successive layers with the binder bonding the successive layers together; and removing the unbonded glass powder to provide a bonded glass powder lithography stage structure which is then sintered and densified into a densified nonpowder glass lithography stage.

    摘要: A honeycomb article has longitudinal channels extending from one face to a second face. A portion of the honeycomb is removed by cutting away a helical slot that depthwise extends from the outer surface of the honeycomb through a majority of the channels and lengthwise extends along the honeycomb channel axis commencing at or near the first face and toward the second face. The helical slot traverses a minimum of one rotation around the honeycomb axis. The honeycomb article can be used in a number of applications including heat exchange, thermal mixing, physical mixing, chemical stripping, and chemical reactions of one or more workstreams entering from one face, or entering in a countercurrent mode from both faces.
