LITHOTEC® i-line glass is a type of optical glass which offers both high UV-transmittance at 365 nm and high refractive index homogeneity.
Benefits
LITHOTEC® i-line glass is offered with the following outstanding properties:
High refractive index homogeneity values (<0.5 ppm at 200 mm diameter)
Excellent internal quality
Negligible stress birefringence due to a well-defined annealing process
Variation of absolute refractive index values per lot of less than 5 x 10-5
Availability of a wide range of high transmission glass types FK5HT to F14 HT ensures high flexibility in optical designs
Key Applications
LITHOTEC® i-line glasses are most often used in applications such as:
Projection lenses and illumination systems for use in i-line wafer steppers and scanners
Standard optical applications requiring high transmission in the UV region
