Titania-doped quartz glass member and making method

摘要

In a titania-doped quartz glass member having a surface where EUV light of up to 70 nm wavelength is reflected, a refractive index distribution in the surface has only one extreme point within a central 80% region of the member. The titania-doped quartz glass member has a surface with a high level of precision and thus can be formed into an EUV lithography photomask substrate which is improved in flatness and thermal expansion properties.
