  • Patent number: 11591260
    Abstract: A large-size synthetic quartz glass substrate has a diagonal length of at least 1,000 mm. Provided that an effective range is defined on the substrate surface, and the effective range is partitioned into a plurality of evaluation regions such that the evaluation regions partly overlap each other, a flatness in each evaluation region is up to 3 ?m. From the quartz glass substrate having a high flatness and a minimal local gradient within the substrate surface, a large-size photomask is prepared.
