99.999% Ultra-Low Expansion (ULE) Reflective Mirrors
When every nanometer counts, the 99.999% ULE Reflective Mirror delivers unmatched stability for mission-critical optics. Made from ultra-pure Corning ULE® glass, these mirrors maintain sub-ångström precision even under extreme temperatures and high-energy EUV exposure. Whether you’re refining 3nm semiconductor nodes or calibrating laser gyroscopes, our mirrors eliminate thermal drift and distortion risks that compromise optical systems.
Why Choose Our ULE Reflective Mirrors?
- Zero Thermal Distortion: With a near-zero CTE (0 ± 30 ppb/°C), our mirrors stay dimensionally stable from -50°C to 150°C, critical for semiconductor lithography and space-based sensors. This stability prevents misalignment in high-heat industrial tools or cold orbital environments, ensuring consistent performance where thermal shifts would ruin precision.
- Atomic-Level Smoothness: Surface roughness <0.5 nm RMS ensures 99.999% reflectivity for EUV wavelengths (13.5 nm), vital for 3nm chip manufacturing. This ultra-smooth finish minimizes light scatter, enabling accurate patterning of tiny circuits in advanced fabs where even nanoscale imperfections compromise yields.
- Built to Last: Multilayer coatings resist degradation, offering 18+ months of uninterrupted performance in 24/7 fabs, reducing downtime for replacements. These coatings withstand plasma etching byproducts and frequent cleaning, maintaining reflectivity in harsh semiconductor manufacturing environments.
- Custom-Ready: Tailored diameters (up to 500mm), coatings, and mounting solutions for your tool’s unique geometry, ensuring seamless integration into lithography systems or laser setups. This customization optimizes optical efficiency, eliminating fit issues that could hinder performance in specialized industrial equipment.
