    摘要: The Ti3+ ions present in Ti-doped silica glass cause a brown staining of the glass, causing inspection of the lens to become more difficult. Known methods for reducing Ti3+ ions in favor of Ti4+ ions in Ti-doped silica glass include a sufficiently high proportion of OH-groups and carrying out an oxygen treatment prior to vitrification, which both have disadvantages. In order to provide a cost-efficient production method for Ti-doped silica glass, which at a hydroxyl group content of less than 120 ppm shows an internal transmittance (sample thickness 10 mm) of at least 70% in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1000 nm, the TiO2—SiO2 soot body is subjected to a conditioning treatment with a nitrogen oxide prior to vitrification. The blank produced in this way from Ti-doped silica glass has the ratio Ti3+/Ti4+≦5×10−4.

    摘要: A method for producing a blank from titanium-doped, highly silicic-acidic glass having a specified fluorine content for use in EUV lithography is described, in which the thermal expansion coefficient over the operating temperature remains at zero as stably as possible. The course of the thermal expansion coefficient of Ti-doped silica glass depends on a plurality of influencing factors. In addition to the absolute titanium content, the distribution of the titanium is of significant importance, as is the ratio and distribution of additional doping elements, such as fluorine. In the method, fluorine-doped TiO2—SiO2 soot particles are generated and processed further via consolidation and vitrifying into the blank, and, by flame hydrolysis of input substances containing silicon and titanium, TiO2—SiO2-soot particles are formed, exposed to a reagent containing fluorine in a moving powder bed, and converted to the fluorine-doped TiO2—SiO2-soot particles.

    摘要: A method for producing a mirror substrate blank made from titanium-doped silica glass for EUV lithography, having a thickness of at least 40 millimeters, includes steps of face grinding the surface of the blank and identifying data on defects in a surface layer of the blank. Light penetrates the blank at a predetermined angle of incidence α of less than 90° at a location on the flat surface of the blank. The light scatters on a defect in the blank, and the scattered light is detected at a distance x from the penetration location on the surface of the blank by a light detection element arranged perpendicularly thereabove. The method further includes steps of determining the position of the defect in the surface layer based on the obtained data, and partial or complete removal of the surface layer in consideration of the position determination and forming the mirror substrate blank.

    摘要: A blank made of titanium-doped silica glass for a mirror substrate for use in EUV lithography is provided. The blank includes a surface portion to be provided with a reflective film and having an optically used area (CA) over which a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) has a two-dimensional inhomogeneity (dCTE) distribution profile averaged over a thickness of the blank. A maximum inhomogeneity (dCTEmax) of less than 5 ppb/K is defined as a difference between a CTE maximum value and a CTE minimum value. The dCTEmax is at least 0.5 ppb/K. The CA forms a non-circular area having a centroid. The dCTE distribution profile is not rotation-symmetrical and is defined over the CA, such that straight profile sections normalized to a unit length and extending through the centroid of the area yield a dCTE family of curves forming a curve band with a bandwidth of less than 0.5×dCTEmax.
