Processing route
Precision cutting; CNC/ultrasonic machining where qualified; grinding; lapping; polishing; cleaning; inspection
Use conditions
Define temperature, optical, chemical, mechanical and assembly conditions.
Select the Exact Grade and Processing Route
A material-family name is not a complete production specification. Confirm the exact grade, supplied form, thickness, geometry, surface condition and service environment.
UV Grade Fused Silica
UV-grade fused silica
UV Glass Technical and Selection Notes
Published values and product ranges retain their source conditions. Final feasibility depends on the selected grade, supplied form, geometry, processing sequence and inspection method.
| Property | Published reference |
|---|---|
| Material category | UV-grade fused silica |
| Transmission range | 193 nm ArF lithography grade; full curve is grade- and thickness-specific |
| Available forms | Sheet, plate, disc, window, tube, rod or blank where the named grade is supplied in that form |
How the Drawing Changes the Processing Plan
Base pages do not assign one universal process or tolerance. ANTGLASS selects cutting, drilling, CNC machining, grinding, lapping, polishing, cleaning and inspection steps from the drawing.
| Planning area | What to review |
|---|---|
| Candidate operations | Precision cutting; CNC/ultrasonic machining where qualified; grinding; lapping; polishing; cleaning; inspection |
| Material response | Material- and grade-dependent; qualify cutting, grinding, drilling, lapping and polishing against fracture and surface requirements |
| Feature geometry | Review holes, slots, cutouts, internal corners, wall sections and edge distance from the drawing. |
| Edge and surface finish | Define visible edges, sealing lands, optical surfaces, coating sides and handling surfaces. |
| Application conditions | State temperature, chemical exposure, loading, sealing, pressure or vacuum where applicable. |
| Inspection route | Define the characteristic, measurement method, fixture and acceptance limit. |
Information Required Before Quotation
State the drawing revision, exact material or approved alternatives, dimensions, quantity, feature geometry, edge and surface requirements, operating conditions and the acceptance method.
RFQ inputs
- Provide a drawing revision, material or grade, quantity, dimensions, tolerances, critical surfaces and the required inspection record.
Failure Risks and Inspection Focus
Inspection is tied to the functional dimensions and surfaces shown on the approved drawing; generic catalogue values do not replace project acceptance criteria.
| Review item | Project-specific focus |
|---|---|
| Acceptance method | Vision Measurement: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
