Abstract

The present invention relates to a chemically strengthened glass having a thickness of t (unit: μm) and a relative permittivity of 7.0 or less at 20° C. and a frequency of 10 GHz, in which a value of Z determined by the following formula is 0.65 or more, where S1 is an entropy function calculated from an amount of alkali ions in a center portion of the glass, S2 is an entropy function calculated from an average amount of alkali ions from a glass surface to a depth of 0.05t, and X (unit: MPa) is an average value of a compressive stress in a region from the glass surface to the depth of 0.05t: Z=(S2−S1)×10+X/1000.

Claims (32)

1 . A chemically strengthened glass having a thickness of t (unit: μm) and a relative permittivity of 7.0 or less at 20° C. and a frequency of 10 GHz, and

having a base composition comprising, in terms of molar percentage based on oxides:

10% or less of Al 2 O 3 ;

2% or less of K 2 O;

3% or less of MgO; and

14% or more of Li 2 O and/or Na 2 O in total,

wherein a value of Z determined by the following formula is 0.65 or more and a value of S1 is 0.2 or less, where S1 is an entropy function calculated from an amount of alkali ions in a center portion of the glass, S2 is an entropy function calculated from an average amount of alkali ions from a glass surface to a depth of 0.05t, and X (unit: MPa) is an average value of a compressive stress in a region from the glass surface to the depth of 0.05t:

Z =( S 2− S 1)×10+ X/ 1000,

provided that an entropy function S is calculated by the following formula from [Li 2 O], [Na 2 O], and [K 2 O] which are contents of Li 2 O, Na 2 O, and K 2 O respectively in terms of molar percentage based on oxides, and in the formula, when [Li 2 O], [Na 2 O], and [K 2 O] are zero, the entropy function S is 1×10 −4 :

S=−[Li 2 O]/([Li 2 O]+[Na 2 O]+[K 2 O])log([Li 2 O]/([Li 2 O]+[Na 2 O]+[K 2 O]))−[Na 2 O]/([Li 2 O]+[Na 2 O]+[K 2 O])log([Na 2 O]/([Li 2 O]+[Na 2 O]+[K 2 O]))−[K 2 O]/([Li 2 O]+[Na 2 O]+[K 2 O])log([K 2 O]/([Li 2 O]+[Na 2 O]+[K 2 O])), and

a content of Li ions after the chemical strengthening at the depth of 0.05t from the glass surface is greater than or equal to 4.1 mol %.

2 . The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein a value of (S2−S1) obtained by subtracting the entropy function S1 from the entropy function S2 is 0.04 or more.

3 . The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , having a dielectric loss tangent of 0.02 or less at 20° C. and a frequency of 10 GHz.

wherein the thickness t is 300 μm or more.

7 . The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , having a depth of a compressive stress layer DOL of 70 μm or more,

wherein the thickness t is 350 μm or more.

8 . The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , being a lithium aluminosilicate glass,

wherein the base composition comprises, in terms of molar percentage based on oxides:

40% to 70% of SiO 2 ;

7.5% to 10% of Al 2 O 3 ; and

5% to 25% of Li 2 O.

9 . The chemically strengthened glass according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness t is 100 μm or more and 2000 μm or less.
