If you don't have to have Pyrex, there is a photo-imagable glass
(Foturan) which can do 20:1 to 40:1 aspect ratio holes. Corning invented
the product and discontinued it, then Hoya made it for a few years and
stopped. The only manufacturer at present is Schott Glaswerke.
The glass is a photo-sensitive, and becomes etchable in HF when
exposed to UV. By heat treating the glass, it can be converted to a tough
ceramic. This is a material with tremendous potential to be used in
micromachining.
The fly in the ointment is the thermal expansion coefficient is
nowhere near Silicon (8.6 ppm/K), so if you need to wafer bond to Silicon
there may be a thermal mismatch issue.
