Abstract

A method for producing a glass panel for silicon device fabrication, which method comprises forming a noncrystalline, or mixed-phase, silicon film on a glass substrate, the glass having a strain point greater than 560.degree. C., and subjecting the filmed glass to a heat treatment comprising heating at a temperature of at least 550.degree. C. for a period of time sufficient to convert the silicon film to polycrystalline silicon and to compact the glass.
