Abstract

Disclosed is a method for the formation of a thick silicon oxide film which is insoluble in organic solvents and free of cracks and pinholes on the surface of a substrate. The method comprises forming a hydrogen silsesquioxane resin film on the surface of a substrate, converting the hydrogen silsesquioxane resin into preceramic silicon oxide by heating in an inert gas atmosphere, and converting the preceramic silicon oxide into silicon oxide ceramic by heating in an atmosphere selected from the group consisting of oxygen and oxygen mixed with an inert gas.
