General
- The glass substrate
is the portion of the mirror in which solar energy is transmitted. It is
composed of a float glass with high transmission characteristics in the
visible and infrared ranges and is configured to transmit visible light
and infrared radiation.
- The first side
contains a reflective layer for reflecting the solar energy gathered.
This is then transmitted through the glass substrate to the second side.
The second side that is curved then reflects the solar energy back
through the glass substrate and back out the first side of the glass.
Process
- After several years
of research Komag has achieved major breakthroughs in process
technologies associated with the manufacture of glass substrates. Such
process advancements may offer the potential to approximately halve the
cost of future glass substrates.
- Furthermore, the
cost of glass substrates manufactured under these new processes is
expected to be less expensive than equivalent aluminum-based substrates.
Over 90% of the disks manufactured today are aluminum-based disks.
- Glass slides wafers
are often cleaned by a solvent clean, followed by a dionized water (DI)
rinse, followed by a mild acid clean, DI rinse and blow dry. This is a
level-1 process and requires basic INRF safety certification. The use of
dangerous chemicals requires that the user may not perform the process
alone.
Technology
- In FPD technology,
Process of Coating for Glass Substrate and/or CF is an extremely
important process. KURAMOTO's "Coating technology" enjoy a high
reputation of customers Electrostatic chucks (ESCs) in dry etchers for
thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFTLCD) fabrications were
investigated theoretically, the ESCs should be used. By applying the
simple ESC model, the voltage region for the stability of glass
substrate was obtained.
- To transport delicate
glass substrates without damaging them, Sharp developed original
transporting technology. As a result, Sharp can input 60,000 glass
substrates per month into the manufacturing line (at Kameyama Plant No.
1), making it possible to produce a stable and highly efficient supply
of large LCD panels.
- In order to
mass-produce larger LCD panels, Sharp adopted new technology that
involves dropping liquid crystals onto the surface of a glass substrate.
Through this method, which looks simple but is actually quite difficult,
Sharp pioneered the way to mass production of large LCD panels.
Market
- PDP has excellent
features suitable for larger display and highly minute pictures, and its
demand is rapidly increasing worldwide. Central Glass Co., Ltd. Company
will soon start sales activities targeting annual sales of ¥3 billion in
2005. Central Glass Co., Ltd. Company currently produces substrates for
flat panel displays such as VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display), TN-LCD,
STN-LCD and TFT-LCD.
- Demand for TFT liquid
crystal panels is now in full swing for television sets as well as for
personal computers, and is expected to rise at an annual rate of 20% on
a unit basis. In addition, many TFT liquid crystal panel manufacturers
currently produce panels by using large 6th generation or larger mother
glass. Production of panels with using 10th generation glass substrates,
the world’s largest, is also scheduled.
- Sales in the glass
and related operations segment amounted to ¥625,240 million ($5,768
million), and accounted for 45.3% of total sales, including intersegment
net sales and transfers.
- The segment’s
operating income was ¥35,852 million ($331 million). Sales of flat glass
and construction materials expanded, supported by continuing firm demand
in Japan for double-glazing glass units, which offer excellent
insulation.
Application
- One approach to
synthesising HDOAs consolidates the principles of solid-phase nucleic
acid synthesis and photolithography adapted from the semiconductor
manufacturing arena. This approach allows for the synthesis of
oligonucleotides in situ on glass substrates.
- For thin solar cell
application glass would be a very good material, because it offers many
advantageous properties. It offers a very good chemical resistance which
is needed both for the processing of the solar cells as well as for its
long term application to be resistant to atmospheric attack and
ultraviolett radiation.
- Its temperature
stability is needed for the processing. Good transmission properties are
also needed, which are offered by glass as well as a smooth surface.
- The use of CG Silicon
technology to form circuitry directly on the glass substrate is what
lies beneath the outstanding features of System LCDs-high resolution,
low power consumption, narrow frame, and multiresolution display
capability (Fig. 6)-and we have been receiving high praise from users.
