Abstract
We have been developing silicon foil X-ray optics using a hot plastic deformation process for future astronomical observations. Our foil mirror is made of a 0.3-mm thick silicon wafer and is plastically deformed into a high-accurate conical shape with a curvature radius of ~100 mm. The angular resolution we evaluated using a test sample mirror was ~32 arcseconds in the best region. We have also successfully coated a platinum film on the foil mirror using the atomic layer deposition process. In this talk, we report on the fabrication method and the X-ray imaging capability of our silicon foil X-ray optics.
