Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Titania-doped quartz glass is manufactured by mixing a silicon-providing reactant gas and a titanium-providing reactant gas, preheating the reactant gas mixture at 200-400° C., and subjecting the mixture to oxidation or flame hydrolysis. A substrate of the glass is free of concave defects having a volume of at least 30,000 nm 3 in an effective region of the EUV light-reflecting surface and is suited for use in the EUV lithography.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 - 4 . (canceled) 5 . A titania-doped quartz glass having a surface where EUV light is reflected, the glass being free of concave defects having a volume of at least 30,000 nm 3 and an aspect ratio of up to 10 in an effective region of the EUV light-reflecting surface. 6 . The titania-doped quartz glass of claim 5 which is free of inclusions. 7 . An EUV lithographic member comprising the titania-doped quartz glass of claim 5 . 8 . The EUV lithographic member of claim 7 which is an EUV lithographic photomask substrate.
