Abstract

See full text

A thick glass passivation layer comprises an alternating sequence of structurally dissimilar but chemically compatible layers of material over the surface of a substrate, so as to provide sufficient elasticity to compensate for thermal expansion differences that would otherwise crack causing in thick monolithic films. A first layer comprises glass that has been deposited over the surface of the structure using chemical vapor deposition. A second layer of the passivating glass material is then provided on the substrate using a spinning technique. The chemical vapor deposition and spun layers continue to be applied in an alternating fashion until a film having the desired thickness is formed. Each chemical vapor deposition layer provides an elastic cushion for the subsequently spun layers. The spun layers allows a planar topography to be maintained without the need for high temperatures.
