Drill Bit that creates enlarged space?

I would really appreciate if someone could name something similar to what I need.

A drill bit that expands to create a spherical space at the end of the drill hole (still within the drilled material).
Or perhaps a head that can tilt sideways to slowly make an expansive area at the end of the drill hole.

My intention is to drill Quartz (prone to shattering), Pyrex, or glass.

I was considering making a lopsided drill bit, which is similar. I have some small diamonds handy.
 
Quite perfect sphere. ~95% accurate I guess.
In the future I want 0.01mm accuracy. But for now I will be happy with 1.0mm accuracy, for testing purposes.
 
You need a hole (say 1/4") from a normal bit, and then a smaller diameter bit with an enlarged head to make the void.
