Patent number: 10501363Abstract: A method for production of a photo-structurable glass element is provided. The method includes the steps of: fixing a blank of photo-structurable glass at a first end; heating of a deformation zone of the blank; and drawing the blank. The glass includes Si4+, a crystal-agonist, a crystal-antagonist, and a pair of nucleating agents. The crystal-agonist is selected from the group consisting of Na+, K+, Li+, and any combinations thereof. The crystal-antagonist is selected from the group consisting of Al3+, B3+, Zn2+, Sr2+, Sb3+, and any combinations thereof. The pair of nucleating agents include cerium and an agent selected from the group consisting of silver, gold, copper, and any combinations thereof. The crystal-agonist has a molar proportion cat.-% in relation to a molar proportion of Si4+ that is at least 0.3 and at most 0.85.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: SCHOTT AGInventors: Carsten Renz, Marten Walther, Lothar Niessner, Martin Feichtinger, Bianca Schreder, Junming Xue, Sean Qian

Patent number: 10472273Abstract: A sensitized, photo-structurable glasses and methods for producing are provided. The glasses includes Si4+, one or more crystal-agonist, one or more crystal-antagonist, and one or more pair of nucleating agents. The glasses are sensitized in that the glass reacts more sensitive to irradiation with UV-light and can be crystallized easier and with higher aspect ratios than a non-sensitized glass with equal composition. Furthermore, the sensitized glasses of this invention have smaller crystal sizes after irradiation and tempering than a non-sensitized glass with equal composition. The invention also relates to a structured glass product. Such product can be obtained by submitting the crystallized glass product to a subsequent etching step. The structured product can be used in components or as component for the application fields micro-technology, micro-reaction-technology, electronic packaging, micro-fluidics, FED spacer, bio-technology, interposer, and/or three-dimensional structured antennae.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: SCHOTT AGInventors: Bianca Schreder, Marten Walther, Martin Feichtinger, Lothar Niessner, Carsten Renz, Sean Qian, Junming Xue

Patent number: 10093575Abstract: A method for continuous production of photo-sensitive glass bodies, glass bodies, and structured glass articles are provided. The glass bodies include a glass having Si4+, at least one crystal-agonist, at least one crystal-antagonist, and at least one pair of nucleating agents. The glass may be used in a method for structuring of glass. The glass bodies may be structured and/or unstructured and used in different applications such as in components or as components in micro-technology, in micro-reaction-technology, in electronic packaging, for micro-fluidic components, in or as FED spacer, for bio-technology (for example titer plates), as interposer, and in or as three-dimensional structurable antennae.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: SCHOTT AGInventors: Lothar Niessner, Martin Feichtinger, Carsten Renz, Bianca Schreder, Sean Qian, Junming Xue
