For example, the following Patent Document 1, the end portion of the cylindrical outer tube made of ceramics, having a light transmissive window assembly formed by joining a light transmissive window member made of magnesium fluoride or calcium fluoride, A dielectric barrier discharge lamp is described. 4 is shown in Patent Document 1 shows an example of a light-transmissive window assembly.
JP-A-8-236084

図4に示すように、特許文献1に示す光透過窓接合体100では、例えばセラミック等からなる筒状部材102の端部に、金属製接合部材104が設けられている。特許文献1に示す光透過窓接合体100では、この金属製接合部材104に、例えば低融点ガラス106を接着剤として用いて、例えばフッ化マグネシウム(MgF )からなる光透過窓部材108を接合している。この際、接着剤である低融点ガラス106は、光透過窓部材108の一方主面の周縁に沿って設けられ、光透過窓部材10のこの一方主面の周縁部と金属製接合部材104の端部とが接合されている。特許文献1では、金属製接合部材104と光透過窓部材108との間の熱膨張係数の違いによって発生する応力は、金属製部材104の端部110によって緩和され、急激な温度変化が生じても低融点ガラス106や光透過窓部材108の破損が生じないと記載されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the light transmissive window assembly 100 shown in Patent Document 1, for example, the end portion of the cylindrical member 102 made of ceramics or the like, metallic joining member 104 is provided. In the light transmission window assembly 100 shown in Patent Document 1, a light transmission window member 108 made of, for example, magnesium fluoride (MgF 2 ) is bonded to the metal bonding member 104 using, for example, a low-melting glass 106 as an adhesive. is doing. In this case, an adhesive low-melting glass 106 is provided along the periphery of the hand main surface of the light transmitting window member 108, the peripheral edge portion of the one main surface of the light transmitting window member 108 and the metal bonding The end of the member 104 is joined. In Patent Document 1, the stress generated by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the metal joining member 104 and the light transmission window member 108 is relieved by the end portion 110 of the metal member 104, and a sudden temperature change occurs. Further, it is described that the low melting point glass 106 and the light transmission window member 108 are not damaged.

しかし、上記特許文献1のように、接着剤である低融点ガラス106を、光透過窓部材108の一方の主面の周縁部に沿って設けた場合、配置した低融点ガラス106が光透過窓部材108の主面の中央に向かって拡がり易い。低融点ガラス106が中央に向かって拡がった場合、光透過窓部材における光の透過を阻害する場合があった。また、低融点ガラス106が光透過窓部材108の主面の比較的広い範囲に広がった場合、低融点ガラス106と光透過窓部材108の熱膨張係数の違いに起因して発生する応力が比較的大きくなり、光透過窓部材108の破損が生じ易くなるといった課題もあった。本発明は、かかる課題を解決するためになされた発明である。 However, when the low-melting-point glass 106 that is an adhesive is provided along the peripheral edge of one main surface of the light-transmitting window member 108 as in Patent Document 1, the disposed low-melting-point glass 106 is the light-transmitting window. It tends to expand toward the center of the main surface of the member 108. When the low melting point glass 106 spreads toward the center, the light transmission window member may be inhibited from transmitting light. When the low melting point glass 106 has spread in a relatively wide range of the main surface of the light transmitting window member 108, stress generated due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the low-melting glass 106 and the light transmitting window member 108 is compared There is also a problem that the light transmission window member 108 is easily damaged.

In the curved portion 16, the inner peripheral surface 12a and the peripheral edge of the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 are brought into contact with each other. In this state, Ag—Cu solder is supplied to the gap between the metallized layer 7Ba and the inner peripheral surface 12a of the metal member 12, and the metallized layer 7Ba and the bonding member 20 made of Cu are bonded with a relatively large bonding strength. .

本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、光透過窓9の一方主面9aの周縁が曲部16と接合部材7Bを介して接合しており、この一方主面9aの位置に対して、より光の照射方向の側(図3中の上側)では、一方主面9aから離れるにしたがって、内周面12aが中心軸Cに近づいている。光透過窓接合体20では、メタライズ層7Baと金属部材12の内周面12aとの間隙に供給されたAg−Cuロウは、メタライズ層7Baおよび内周面12aとの濡れによって、この間隙を一方主面9aの側に進んでいく。A−Cuロウは、例えばフッ化マグネシウム(MgF)からなる光透過窓9の主面9aに対する濡れ性に比べて、例えばCuからなる金属部材12に対する濡れ性の方が、比較的高い。メタライズ層7Baと金属部材12の内周面12aとの間隙に供給されたAg−Cuロウは、一方主面9aの側に到達した後は、濡れ性が比較的良好な、金属部材12の内周面12aに沿って拡がる。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、接合部材7Bの表面は、光透過窓9の一方主面9aの周縁から、金属部材12の内周面12aに向けて連なる。なお、光透過窓9の一方主面9aの周縁とは、光透過窓9の一方主面9aの周縁と、一方主面9aの内部領域に向けて周縁から所定長だけ離間した位置を通る周縁区分線とで囲まれた領域を含む範囲をいう。なお、この所定は、光透過窓9の一方主面9aの重心位置を通る、一方主面9aの周縁によって区切られた複数の線分のうち、最も短い長さの線分の5%の長さをいう。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、この周縁に対応する範囲よりも内部には、接合部材7B(特にロウ付層7Bb)は被着されない。 In the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, the peripheral edge of the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 is bonded to the curved portion 16 via the bonding member 7B . On the more light irradiation side (the upper side in FIG. 3), the inner peripheral surface 12a approaches the central axis C as the distance from the main surface 9a increases. In the light transmission window assembly 20, the Ag—Cu solder supplied to the gap between the metallized layer 7Ba and the inner peripheral surface 12a of the metal member 12 causes this gap to be reduced by wetting with the metallized layer 7Ba and the inner peripheral surface 12a. Proceed to the main surface 9a side. A g -Cu wax, for example in comparison with the wettability to the main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 made of magnesium fluoride (MgF 2), the direction of wettability to the metal member 12 made of, for example, Cu, relatively high. The Ag—Cu braze supplied to the gap between the metallized layer 7Ba and the inner peripheral surface 12a of the metal member 12 has a relatively good wettability after reaching the one main surface 9a side. It spreads along the peripheral surface 12a. In the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, the surface of the bonding member 7 </ b> B continues from the peripheral edge portion of the one main surface 9 a of the light transmission window 9 toward the inner peripheral surface 12 a of the metal member 12. The peripheral portion of the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 passes through a position separated from the peripheral edge of the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 by a predetermined length from the periphery toward the inner region of the one main surface 9a. It refers to a range including a region surrounded by the periphery section line. The predetermined length passes through the centroid position of one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9, whereas among the plurality of segments separated by the peripheral edge of the main surface 9a, 5% of the line segment of the shortest length The length of In light transmissive window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, inside than the range corresponding to the peripheral portion, the joining member 7B (in particular layer brazing 7Bb) is not deposited.

例えば、ロウ付層7Bbが光透過窓9の一方主面9aに拡がって被着された場合、光透過窓9における光の透過面積が比較的小さくなり、光透過窓9を透過する光の光量が減少する。またこの場合、例えばAg−Cuロウからなるロウ付層7Bbと、フッ化マグネシウム(MgF)からなる光透過窓9との熱膨張係数の差に起因し、ロウ付層7Bbの固化の際に光透過窓9に割れ等の破損が生じることがある。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体2
0では、接合部材7Bの表面は、光透過窓9の一方主面9aの周縁から、金属部材12の内周面12aに向けて連なり、光透過窓9の一方主面9aには、Ag−Cuロウからなるロウ付層7Bbが被着されない。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20は、光透過窓9において光が透過できる面積を比較的広く確保することができる。また、本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20は、光透過窓9の、金属部材12に対する光の透過方向に沿った位置を比較的高い精度で規定しつつ、光透過窓9の破損が抑制される。
For example, when the brazing layer 7Bb is spread and applied to the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9, the light transmission area in the light transmission window 9 becomes relatively small, and the amount of light transmitted through the light transmission window 9 is reduced. Decrease. In this case, for example, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the brazing layer 7Bb made of Ag—Cu brazing and the light transmission window 9 made of magnesium fluoride (MgF 2 ), the brazing layer 7Bb is solidified. The light transmission window 9 may be broken or broken. Light transmission window assembly 2 of the present embodiment
In 0, the surface of the joining member 7B is continuous from the peripheral portion of the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 toward the inner peripheral surface 12a of the metal member 12, and the one main surface 9a of the light transmission window 9 is Ag. -The brazing layer 7Bb made of Cu solder is not deposited. The light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment can ensure a relatively wide area through which light can be transmitted in the light transmission window 9. Moreover, the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment suppresses damage to the light transmission window 9 while defining the position of the light transmission window 9 along the light transmission direction with respect to the metal member 12 with relatively high accuracy. Is done.

本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、例えばMgFからなる光透過窓9と、例えばCuからなる金属部材12とが、Ag−Cuからなるロウ付層7Bbによって接合されている。Ag−Cuからなるロウ付層7Bbは、約780℃と融点が比較的高く、接合後の部材(本実施形態では、光透過窓接合体20、および放電ランプ1)は、比較的高い耐熱性を備えている。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20、および本実施形態の放電ランプ1は、比較的高い温度に昇温する条件下でも、光透過窓9と金属部材12とが、比較的高い接合状態を保っている。また、光透過窓接合体20では、光透過窓9の、側面9bおよび一方主面9aの周縁のみに接合部材7Bが設けられている。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、このように、側面9bおよび一方主面9aの周縁にのみ接合部材7Bが設けられているので、例えば一方主面9aにロウ付層7Bが被着されている場合と比較して、温度変化に起因して光透過窓9に生じる応力は比較的小さい。放電ランプ1は、放電容器11内にプラズマを生成して光を発生し、プラズマに比較的近い位置に配置される光透過窓9および金属部材12は、発光および消灯に応じて、比較的広い温度範囲で温度変化する。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、比較的広い温度範囲で温度が変化した場合でも、光透過窓9の損傷が抑制される。 In the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, a light transmission window 9 made of, for example, MgF 2 and a metal member 12 made of, for example, Cu are joined together by a brazing layer 7Bb made of Ag—Cu. The brazing layer 7Bb made of Ag—Cu has a relatively high melting point of about 780 ° C., and the joined members (in this embodiment, the light transmission window assembly 20 and the discharge lamp 1) have a relatively high heat resistance. It has. The light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment and the discharge lamp 1 of the present embodiment have a relatively high bonding state between the light transmission window 9 and the metal member 12 even under conditions where the temperature is raised to a relatively high temperature. I keep it. Further, in the light transmission window assembly 20, the bonding member 7 </ b> B is provided only in the peripheral portion of the side surface 9 b and the one main surface 9 a of the light transmission window 9. In light transmissive window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, thus, the only joint member 7B in the periphery of the side surface 9b and one main surface 9a is provided, the brazing layer 7B, for example, one main surface 9a to be Compared with the case where it is worn, the stress generated in the light transmission window 9 due to the temperature change is relatively small. The discharge lamp 1 generates plasma in the discharge vessel 11 to generate light, and the light transmission window 9 and the metal member 12 disposed at positions relatively close to the plasma are relatively wide according to light emission and extinction. The temperature changes in the temperature range. In the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, damage to the light transmission window 9 is suppressed even when the temperature changes in a relatively wide temperature range.

また、本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、C面を主面とするフッ化マグネシウム(MgF)単結晶体を光透過窓9とし、この光透過窓9を銅(Cu)からなる金属部材12と接合している。C面を主面とするフッ化マグネシウム単結晶体の熱膨張係数は、金属部材12を構成するCuの熱膨張係数と比較的近い。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、比較的広い温度範囲で温度が変化した場合でも、金属部材12の熱膨張の程度と、光透過窓9の熱膨張の程度との差が、比較的小さくされている。また、光透過窓9と金属部材12とにおいて、熱膨張の程度に差が生じた場合も、金属部材12が積極的に変形し、光透過窓9にかかる応力を低減させることができる。本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20では、比較的広い温度範囲で温度が変化した場合でも、光透過窓9の損傷が抑制される。 Further, in the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, a magnesium fluoride (MgF 2 ) single crystal having a C plane as a main surface is used as the light transmission window 9, and the light transmission window 9 is made of copper (Cu). The metal member 12 is joined. The thermal expansion coefficient of the magnesium fluoride single crystal having the C plane as the main surface is relatively close to the thermal expansion coefficient of Cu constituting the metal member 12. In the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, even when the temperature changes in a relatively wide temperature range, the difference between the degree of thermal expansion of the metal member 12 and the degree of thermal expansion of the light transmission window 9 is compared. It is made small. In addition, even when there is a difference in the degree of thermal expansion between the light transmission window 9 and the metal member 12, the metal member 12 is positively deformed, and the stress applied to the light transmission window 9 can be reduced. In the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment, damage to the light transmission window 9 is suppressed even when the temperature changes in a relatively wide temperature range.

本実施形態の光透過窓接合体20を有して構成される放電ランプ1は、真空紫外領域の透過率が優れているフッ化マグネシウム単結晶体を透過窓として備えており、放電容器11内で生じた光を、比較的大きな光量で出射させることができる。また、本実施形態の放電ランプ1では、例えば、発光および消光による温度変化に起因した光透過窓9の損傷が抑制され、比較的長期間使用した場合でも、放電容器11内のガス濃度や気圧の変化が十分小さい。   The discharge lamp 1 including the light transmission window assembly 20 of the present embodiment includes a magnesium fluoride single crystal having excellent transmittance in the vacuum ultraviolet region as a transmission window. Can be emitted with a relatively large amount of light. Further, in the discharge lamp 1 of the present embodiment, for example, damage to the light transmission window 9 due to temperature change due to light emission and quenching is suppressed, and even when used for a relatively long period of time, the gas concentration and pressure in the discharge vessel 11 The change is small enough.
