Abstract

Thick dielectric films are deposited on a substrate by building up a plurality of layers by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) in a reactor, each layer having a thickness less than the final thickness of the film to be deposited. The reactor is cleaned between the deposition of each layer. In this way, it is possible to form high quality, optical films.
