Case Study for Bidding

Time: April 2024
Supplier: Schott AG (Germany)
Buyer: ASML (Netherlands)
Product: Ultra-low-inclusion borosilicate crown glass blanks for optical modules used in semiconductor metrology
Quantity: 1,650 tons
Contract Value: USD 3.6 million
Delivery Timeline: July 2025

Case Study for End Using

End User: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (USA) Application: Utilized in wide-field telescope optical windows and protective covers for space imaging sensors.

Installation Location / Usage Stage

Integrated into sensor housings to protect detectors from radiation and particulate contamination.
Mounted using thermally compensated frames to avoid stress from temperature cycling.
Coated with anti-reflective and hydrophobic layers for enhanced spectral transmission.

Purpose

Ensures optical clarity under extreme temperature swings.
Provides dimensional stability required for long-exposure astronomical imaging.
Enhances system reliability in high-radiation orbital environments.

Effect

Improved image consistency and focus stability by 17% across temperature cycles.
Reduced optical distortion compared with fused soda-lime counterparts.
Extended operational lifespan of sensor modules during multi-year missions.

Alternative Materials
Fused silica offers superior UV transmission but comes at significantly higher cost.
Soda-lime crown glass is cheaper but lacks thermal stability, chemical resistance, and optical uniformity.
Aluminosilicate glass provides high strength but cannot match borosilicate's low thermal expansion and optical homogeneity.

Therefore, Borosilicate Crown Glass remains the preferred, cost-balanced material for precision optical applications requiring durability, thermal stability, and consistent refractive performance.
