Abstract

Disclosed is a method for the formation of a thick silicon oxide film on the surface of a substrate. The method comprises forming a hydrogen silsesquioxane resin film on the surface of a substrate followed by converting the hydrogen silsesquioxane resin into silicon oxide ceramic by heating the resin film-bearing substrate in a mixed gas atmosphere of above 0 volume % up to 20 volume % oxygen and 80 volume % up to, but not including, 100 vol % inert gas until the content of silicon-bonded hydrogen in the silicon oxide product has reached .ltoreq.80% of the content of silicon-bonded hydrogen in the hydrogen silsesquioxane resin.
