Appl. No.:

10/682826

Inventors:

Nicholas A. DeLuca - Stratford CT, US
Ronald P. Albright - Norwalk CT, US

Assignee:

ASML Holding N.V. - Veldhoven

International Classification:

C23F 1/00

US Classification:

216100, 216 96, 252 791, 252 795, 430 5

Abstract:

A method for maintaining a micro-roughness finish after etching chrome from a surface of a calcium fluoride (CaF) object. Etching the chrome a first amount in a first chrome etchant. Etching the chrome a second amount beyond the first predetermined amount in second chrome etchant, such that the CaF2 object maintains a low micro-roughness.

Inventors:

Nicholas A. DeLuca - Stratford CT, US

Assignee:

ASML Holding N.V. - Veldhoven

International Classification:

G02B 6/00

US Classification:

385140, 398 85

Abstract:

The present invention provides an ultra-thin high-precision glass optic and method of manufacturing the same. The optic has an axial thickness that is less than 1,000 microns. A pattern and/or coating is disposed on a surface of the optic to provide attenuation of light in an optical system. In an embodiment, the optic is manufactured by disposing a pattern on a surface of a reticle. The pattern is covered with a first protective coating to protect the pattern. Individual optics are cut from the reticle so that each optic includes a portion of the pattern. The optic is thinned by removing material until it has an axial thickness of less than 1,000 microns. The optic is cleaned after thinning and covered with an anti-reflective coating.
