Abstract

Described is a process of utilizing carbon containing thick film spin-on glass with a directional etching process, such as RIE, or a downstream etching mechanism. As a layer of photoresist is etched from the surface of the spin-on glass, a skin layer of carbonless glass results. The skin layer protects the remaining glass from having the carbon removed allowing the use of spin-on glass on the order of 10,000 Angstroms thick.
