  • Publication number: 20230402337
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method comprises forming a pilot hole or damage track through a laminate glass structure using a laser. The laminate glass structure comprising a first layer and a second layer adjacent to the first layer. The first layer is formed from a first glass composition. The second layer is formed from a second glass composition different from the first glass composition. After forming the pilot hole, the laminate glass structure is exposed to etching conditions that etch the first glass composition at a first etching rate and the second glass composition at a second etching rate, wherein the first etch rate is different from the second etch rate, to form an etched hole.

  • Publication number: 20230103045
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for treating a substrate, for example texturing a substrate. In some embodiments, a masking material is applied to a surface of the substrate in a predetermined pattern, the surface thereafter contacted with an etchant that removes the masking material. Contacting the surface with the etchant produces multiple co-located textures. In other embodiments, the masking step can be eliminated, and the etchant is applied in a predetermined pattern to produce multiple co-located textures. In still other embodiments, the substrate has a chemical composition, and the substrate is exposed to a leachant that leaches at least one constituent of the chemical composition to produce a substrate with a varying chemical composition at the substrate surface.
