Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the production of cover glasses for radiation-sensitive sensors and to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
- CCD sensors require extremely low-emission glasses for their packaging.
- a CCD sensor charge-coupled device
- CCDs are constructed of semiconductors and therefore belong to the semiconductor detectors.
- the ⁇ -radiation is evaluated as particularly critical.
- the negative effect of radioactive radiation on CCD sensors is described, for example, in TECHNICAL NO. TH-1087 and in JP 04-308669. If, for example, traces of the radioactive elements uranium and thorium are in a glass, the sensor covered by this glass is massively impaired by their radiation, in particular their ⁇ -rays.
- JP 04-308669 describes an image sensor having a color filter provided in a package.
- a cover glass is mounted in the upper part of the package and is opposite to the sensor.
- the glass has a total concentration of uranium and thorium of 30 ppb or less.
- JP 04-308669 as undesirable impurities with a negative influence on the sensor are said to be iron and titanium, which together must not exceed a total concentration of 30 to 100 ppm.
- Uranium and thorium emit u.a. ⁇ -rays, but also ⁇ - and ⁇ -rays, such as. In K.H. Lieser, Introduction to Nuclear Chemistry 1980, p. 4.
- the glasses do not contain potassium, since the elements potassium, uranium and thorium known radioactive sources in small to very small amounts in many minerals and Rocks occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use potassium-free glasses, as z. B. in the writings JP 2000233939 or JP 2001185710 is described.
- JP 2000233939 discloses a cover glass, in particular borosilicate glass, whose K 2 O content is set to ⁇ 0.2% by mass.
- the ⁇ -ray emitting elements should generally be present in contents ⁇ 100 ppb and the amounts of Fe 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , PbO and ZrO 2 , which are difficult to separate from ⁇ -emitters, such as uranium, thorium and radium, should be present in the glass at levels ⁇ 100 ppm.
- the ⁇ -rays still emitted by the glasses should not exceed a value of 0.05 counts / cm 2 h.
- JP 2001185710 describes a glass of borosilicate glass which has a uranium content ⁇ 50 ppb and a thorium content ⁇ 50 ppb and contains essentially no K 2 O.
- the ß-radiation is reduced to a value below 5 x 10 -6 Ci / cm 2. It should also be mentioned that as far as possible no ZrO 2 or BaO should be included in order to avoid additional exposure to uranium or thorium, which is often present together with the raw material of these oxides.
- Block glass in the form of rods or cuboids, as is the case for optical Glasses is common.
- such Glasses and their preparation are described, for example, in JP 2002-198504, JP 2001-185710 and JP 2000-086281.
- the glass composition and the melt are discussed in these publications, block glass and the subsequent complex further processing steps are always taken into consideration and it is not considered that a certain type of direct shaping would be possible at all.
- the cover glasses must therefore always be made of a block glass by numerous additional steps, such as sawing, grinding, polishing, according to the prior art. These are very time and material-consuming processes and also the manufacturable dimensions and shapes are extremely limited. Thus, only relatively small-area substrates with maximum widths of 200 mm can be produced by these methods. In addition, this process generates a corresponding amount of waste through sawing and grinding. Furthermore, defects in the glass (eg bubbles, inclusions) can only be detected after completion of the substrates, resulting in an uneconomically high scrap.
- defects in the glass eg bubbles, inclusions
- low-radiation raw materials for the production of low-radiation glasses.
- These raw materials are characterized by a low uranium and thorium content.
- particular attention must be paid to a low uranium and thorium content of the silicon dioxide, because this raw material usually has a proportion of> 50 percent by weight or more in the mixture.
- the inventors have found that not only the raw materials used play a role as starting materials for the production of a low-radiation glass, but also the other materials used in the production process are of importance. Therefore, in the present invention, the use of a low-radiation material is preferably considered with low uranium and thorium content and optionally low radium content for the construction of the furnace used. This is important for the entire tub construction, ie in particular for the
- Melting basin which is composed of floor and palisade, optionally also for the tub superstructure, consisting of ring layer and vault.
- tub superstructure consisting of ring layer and vault.
- the material for the tub construction is important because the
- Wannenbau can not be used in particular for large-scale industrial scale.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to avoid the above-described disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a method for producing low-radiation glasses, which has the lowest possible number of process steps and a much lower cost than in the prior art described method requires.
- no additional process steps such as sawing, grinding and polishing, should be necessary.
- a suitable device for carrying out the method should also be provided.
- the object is achieved by a method for producing low-radiation cover glasses for radiation-sensitive sensors, in particular in semiconductor technology, with low ⁇ -natural radiation, without the generation of intermediate forms, by direct shaping as flat glass in suitable dimensions.
- the glass is not made in the form of blocks, rods or cuboids, but directly as a flat or curved disc.
- the method according to the invention it is therefore possible, in contrast to the already known methods, to produce the glasses directly in the desired shape and dimension.
- the production of the products is thus independent of the glass composition used, which of course low-radiation starting materials are used.
- the low-radiation cover glasses can be produced according to the invention preferably by a drawing process, in particular by a down-draw or an up-draw process, or a float process.
- a drawing process in particular by a down-draw or an up-draw process, or a float process.
- the process must be carried out in a corresponding manner, according to which no foreign components, in particular no ⁇ -emitters, can get into the glass compositions. This is sometimes described in great detail in the prior art and belongs to the knowledge of the skilled person.
- the properties of metals are used, which in the liquid state, like any liquid, form a perfectly smooth surface surface, with glass being only about one-third as heavy as, for example, tin Glass floats on liquid tin.
- these metals have a melting point which is much lower than the softening point of the glass (eg tin: 238 0 C). Therefore, pouring liquid glass on liquid tin, the glass forms a perfect glass surface on its free surface.
- the liquid glass thus lies on the ideally smooth surface of the liquid tin and solidifies in perfect surface quality as a finished glass, while the tin remains liquid with its much lower melting point.
- drawing methods for example various down-draw methods, such as overflow fusion, redraw and nozzle method, as well as various up-draw methods, such as Fourcault and Ashahi methods, can be used for the production of flat glasses.
- down-draw methods such as overflow fusion, redraw and nozzle method
- up-draw methods such as Fourcault and Ashahi methods
- a glass melt is upwardly or downwardly fed via a drawing tank having a die having a slit as a forming member drawn.
- the width of the drawing tank determines the drawn glass ribbon width.
- the drawing speeds used are preferably in the range of 0.1 to 15 m / min, but can also be significantly exceeded or fallen below in individual cases.
- Very particularly preferred according to the invention is the use of the down-draw method.
- low-radiation cover glasses in a thickness of 0.03 to 20 mm, in particular from 0.1 to 5 mm are produced.
- the method according to the invention also contributes to the fact that the high quality requirements for the glasses can be met.
- the quality of the glasses produced is determined in addition to the actual glass composition in particular by the molding process itself, which according to the invention not only bubbles and inclusions are avoided, but also directly on the surface quality, such as the low fine waviness of the surface and a slight deviation of the surface of the Flatness, influence is taken.
- materials having low ⁇ -characteristic radiation are used as starting materials for the glasses.
- the terms "low-radiation” or “with low intrinsic radiation” should be understood to mean that these materials only emit an ⁇ -radiation to an extent that a sensor located in the immediate vicinity thereof is not adversely affected.
- inter alia JP 2004238283 requires a radiation intensity of ⁇ 0.0015 counts / cm 2 xh in order to describe a glass with sufficiently low ⁇ -radiation. This value is at the same time the detection limit of the measuring instrument used there (LACOM-4000, detector surface 4000 cm 2 , manufacturer: Sumitomo).
- the starting materials (glass compositions) for the glasses can be selected according to the invention such that the uranium, thorium and optionally radium content of the glasses produced is selected so that the desired low ⁇ -characteristic radiation is obtained.
- the upper limit of a uranium and thorium content of 5 ppb mentioned in the prior art, such as JP 2002-198504, JP 2000-086281 or JP 2004-238283 can be exceeded without to have the expected serious negative effects on ⁇ -radiation.
- the low-radiation cover glasses used in the method according to the invention therefore advantageously have a uranium, thorium and possibly radium content in the height such that the ⁇ radiation has a radiation intensity of ⁇ 0.0020 counts / cm 2 ⁇ h, preferably one Radiation intensity of ⁇ 0.0015 counts / cm 2 xh, particularly preferably has a radiation intensity of ⁇ 0.0013 counts / cm 2 xh.
- a radiation intensity ⁇ 0.0010 counts / cm 2 xh can be set. This is, as already explained, surprisingly preferably already achieved at a uranium, thorium and optionally also radium content of ⁇ 20 ppb, preferably each ⁇ 15 ppb, particularly preferably each ⁇ 10 ppb.
- the glass compositions for the low-radiation cover glasses which can be used in accordance with the invention are otherwise not particularly limited within the scope of the invention, provided that they provide the prerequisites for low inherent radiation.
- low-radiation cover glasses with low ⁇ -own radiation glass compositions are particularly suitable, which are selected from aluminosilicate glasses, aluminoborosilicate glasses, borosilicate glasses, in particular alkali-free borosilicate glasses, or Kalknatronsilikatglvessern.
- alkali-containing float glasses for example borosilicate glasses (eg D 263, Borofloat 33, Borofloat 40, BK 7, Duran from Schott AG 1 Mainz), and alkali-free glasses (eg AF 37, AF 45 from Schott AG, Mainz), aluminosilicate glasses are preferably used (eg Fiolax, Illax from Schott AG, Mainz), alkaline earth glasses (eg B 270 from Schott AG, Mainz), Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 float glass or decolourised float glass with an iron concentration below 100 ppb.
- borosilicate glasses eg D 263, Borofloat 33, Borofloat 40, BK 7, Duran from Schott AG 1 Mainz
- alkali-free glasses eg AF 37, AF 45 from Schott AG, Mainz
- aluminosilicate glasses are preferably used (eg Fiolax, Illax from Schott AG, Main
- compositions may be selected from any of the following compositions (% by weight based on oxide):
- CaO 0-5 wt.%, optionally 1 to 2 wt .-% of the BaO may be replaced by TiO 2 .
- compositions are selected from one of the following compositions (% by weight based on oxide):
- TiO 2 1 - 5 wt .-%, in particular 1 - 2 wt .-%.
- the invention also provides a device for carrying out the method according to the invention, wherein the above explanations for the method are equally applicable to the device.
- materials with low ⁇ -radiation are used as materials in or with which the glasses are produced, such as the tub materials, in particular the melting basin.
- materials with low ⁇ -radiation are used as materials in or with which the glasses are produced, such as the tub materials, in particular the melting basin.
- noble metal such as platinum
- a tub material with a low uranium and thorium content in particular a material with a uranium content. and thorium content and optionally radium content of each ⁇ 100 ppb.
- precious metal materials are completely dispensed with.
- the melted raw materials in the smelting area are very corrosive, so that reactions of the aggressive melt with precious metals are prevented.
- lining the melting tank with noble metal is also out of the question in the process according to the invention, since the electrical heating generally takes place with the aid of electrodes which are immersed in the melt so that a noble metal lining would prevent the flow of current through the melt.
- the absence of precious metals in the melting tank does not mean that must be dispensed with elsewhere in the process or the device on precious metals, as usually only in the range of the melting tank, the melt reacts so aggressively that it is sufficient, there precious metals excluded.
- the tub stones used according to the invention are preferably produced such that they have a low ⁇ -intrinsic radiation. So there are the possibilities to make the tub stones already from low-radiation starting materials.
- the starting material used is, for example, preferably high-purity amorphous silicon dioxide.
- the tub stones are then produced from this high-purity amorphous silicon dioxide, which preferably have a uranium and thorium content of ⁇ 100 ppb, more preferably ⁇ 80 ppb, particularly preferably ⁇ 50 ppb.
- the radium content is preferably adjusted to ⁇ 100 ppb, more preferably ⁇ 80 ppb, particularly preferably ⁇ 50 ppb.
- a particularly low-radiation material such as Gypsum, which was checked for low ⁇ -radiation, are used.
- low-radiation bath stones can be obtained, in particular, by subjecting them to an additional surface treatment after their preparation.
- the surface, in particular the uppermost layer of the surface of the tub stones then preferably removed at all subsequent contact surfaces with the molten glass, for example by appropriate surface removal, such as sawing and / or grinding. This can mean, for example, a removal of the surface by a few mm, such as 3 to 5 mm.
- the LAICPMS process is used to test and control the raw materials, tub material and glass content of uranium, thorium and radium
- precious metal such as platinum, iridium or rhodium or an alloy thereof, for example PtIrI or PtRhIO.
- the inventive method for producing low-radiation cover glasses in the form of flat glass under direct shaping offers the advantages that intermediate steps are eliminated, dimensions are accessible, which were previously not available and still glasses with the required quality characteristics can be produced. Furthermore, by eliminating the complex process steps, such as sawing, grinding, polishing, the rejects are reduced to a minimum. Defects in the glass (eg bubbles, inclusions), which could only be determined in the known processes after completion, can be avoided with the method according to the invention.
- the melting basin which is composed of soil and palisade, optionally also used for the tank superstructure, composed of ring layer and vault
- low-radiation materials in particular, in the field of melting furnace according to the invention, however, the use of precious metals such as platinum, omitted to exclude Edelmetallein say in the glass, which could affect the transmission of the glass and thus the function of the optical sensor.
- precious metal materials are entirely dispensed with only in the area of the melting tank, since the raw materials react very corrosively and aggressively, especially in the melting range, and heating of the melt with electrodes when using a
- noble metals can be used advantageously as materials for the lines for the further transport of the molten glass from the melting tank for further processing.
- starting material for the wellstones preferably a low-radiation starting material, particularly preferably highly pure amorphous silicon dioxide, with a uranium thorium and optionally radium content preferably of ⁇ 100 ppb, more preferably ⁇ 80 ppb, most preferably ⁇ 50 ppb used.
- a low-radiation starting material particularly preferably highly pure amorphous silicon dioxide, with a uranium thorium and optionally radium content preferably of ⁇ 100 ppb, more preferably ⁇ 80 ppb, most preferably ⁇ 50 ppb used.
- the cover glasses produced according to the invention were low in radiation, with the uranium, thorium and radium contents in each case being around 10 ppb. Nevertheless, the measured ⁇ -radiation had a radiation intensity of ⁇ 0.0013 counts / cm 2 h, so that the glasses are suitable for radiation-sensitive sensors.
