When creating synthetic silica glass, SiCl4 is introduced as a precursor into an oxyhydrogen flame, where it produces and distributes SiO2 particles in various states.
The temperature of the flame and the height above the burner both have a significant impact on the morphologies and diameters of the particles.
The sodium line-reversal method was used to measure the flame temperature’s 2D distribution.
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine the sizes and morphologies of SiO2 particles at 50 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm above the burner.
The Global Synthetic Silica Glass market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A super-smart civilization is created by synthetic silica glass. In order to develop the civilization of the future, semiconductors are essential for advancing IoT and AI.
The effectiveness of these vital semiconductors is significantly improved by Nikon’s semiconductor lithography technology.
The main lenses used in these systems are constructed at Nikon’s Sagamihara factory from synthetic silica glass that delivers exceptional optical performance.
A projection lens is used in semiconductor lithography systems to blur the patterns of semiconductor electric circuits etched on a huge glass plate (photomask), which are then exposed to a semiconductor material (silicon wafer).
Such lenses need to be made with materials that are especially of high calibre. Glass made of silica is synthetic. For the production of synthetic silica glass, Nikon primarily uses two techniques.
The direct approach is one of those. It causes vaporised silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) to combine with oxygen and hydrogen to create silica glass particles, which are subsequently deposited from above to produce a sizable block.
Soot is used in the other technique. The same components are used, but two different processes—synthesis and sintering—are used to make the glass.
The direct approach and the synthesis are nearly identical. The silica glass is deposited with spaces between the particles due to a low reaction temperature, though.
Cylindrical ingots are produced using both manufacturing processes (masses of synthetic silica glass). A few hundreds of kilograms may be present in ingots produced using the direct approach.
