Abstract
Description
本発明は、Li2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の結晶化ガラスに関する。 The present invention relates to a crystallized glass of Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 system.
β‐石英及び/又はβ‐石英固溶体を含むLi2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の結晶化ガラスは、低い平均膨張係数を有し、高剛性、研磨後の表面の超平滑性など、この系の結晶化ガラス特有の有用な物性を備えている。こういった特性から極端紫外線を光源とする極端紫外線露光技術(EUVL)を利用した次世代半導体製造装置などのミラー基板材やフォトマスク基板材としての使用が検討されている。 Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based crystallized glass containing β-quartz and / or β-quartz solid solution has a low average expansion coefficient, high rigidity, ultra-smooth surface after polishing, etc. It has useful physical properties peculiar to crystallized glass of this system. Due to these characteristics, use as a mirror substrate material or a photomask substrate material for a next-generation semiconductor manufacturing apparatus using extreme ultraviolet exposure technology (EUVL) using extreme ultraviolet light as a light source has been studied.
一方、Li2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の結晶化ガラスにおいては、その製造過程における前駆体ガラスの溶解温度は、一般的に1450〜1600℃と高い。この結晶化ガラスは、製造過程の溶解時の均質化及び清澄化の目的で、清澄剤を添加することが行われており、前述の様な高い温度域で効果のある清澄剤として、砒素成分やアンチモン成分が最も頻繁に用いられている。しかし、砒素成分やアンチモン成分は人体及び環境に対して悪影響を及ぼす恐れがあり、かつ環境的に許容されないことから、これらの成分の使用を極力控える要求が高まりつつある。 On the other hand, in the Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based crystallized glass, the melting temperature of the precursor glass in the production process is generally as high as 1450 to 1600 ° C. In this crystallized glass, a clarifier is added for the purpose of homogenization and clarification at the time of dissolution in the production process. As a clarifier effective in the high temperature range as described above, an arsenic component is added. And antimony components are most frequently used. However, since arsenic components and antimony components may adversely affect the human body and the environment, and are not environmentally acceptable, there is an increasing demand to refrain from using these components as much as possible.
Li2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の結晶化ガラスが開示されており、As2O3成分、又はSb2O3成分以外の清澄剤について示唆されている。
特許文献1では希土類酸化物とハロゲンを含有させることでLi2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の溶融ガラス時の清澄効果を生み出している。しかし、使用されるCl、並びにClを含む化合物は有毒であり、人体や生産設備への負荷が大きく、また、希土類酸化物は安定的な供給とコストの面で不利である。
特許文献2ではSnO2とさらなる清澄剤としてSb2O3、Cl‐、Br‐、SO4 2‐を含有させることでLi2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の溶融ガラス時の清澄効果を生み出している。しかし、さらなる清澄剤にCl及びBr、並びにCl及びBrを含む化合物は有毒であり、人体や生産設備への負荷が大きく、また、Sb2O3を使用しているため、不利である。
Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based crystallized glass has been disclosed, and a refining agent other than the As 2 O 3 component or the Sb 2 O 3 component is suggested.
Has produced Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 system refining effect upon molten glass by the inclusion of rare earth oxides in Patent Document 1 and halogen. However, the Cl used and the compounds containing Cl are toxic and have a heavy load on the human body and production facilities, and rare earth oxides are disadvantageous in terms of stable supply and cost.
Sb 2 O 3 and Patent Document 2 SnO 2 as a further refining agents, Cl -, Br -, Li by the inclusion of SO 4 2- 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 system refining effect upon molten glass Has produced. However, Cl and Br, and compounds containing Cl and Br as additional fining agents are toxic, have a heavy load on the human body and production facilities, and are disadvantageous because they use Sb 2 O 3 .
本発明の目的は、Li2O−Al2O3−SiO2系の結晶化ガラスに特徴のある諸物性を維持しつつ、砒素成分やアンチモン成分を含まない結晶化ガラスを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a crystallized glass that does not contain an arsenic component or an antimony component while maintaining various physical properties characteristic of the Li 2 O—Al 2 O 3 —SiO 2 based crystallized glass. .
本発明者は、上記目的を達成するために鋭意試験研究を重ねた結果、SiO2及びAl2O3、Li2Oの各成分を含有する結晶化ガラスに清澄剤としてSnO2成分を含有させること、好ましくはこれらの成分の含有量を特定の範囲とすることにより、本発明をなすに至った。
