Abstract
A scanner window and method of making a scanner window are provided. The window may include three layers. The layers may be a ceramic layer such as sapphire, a glass backing, and an adhesive layer comprising a polymer sheet. The window may be formed by stacking the components together and applying heat and pressure to result in adhesion of the ceramic layer to the glass layer. Additional features of the window may include improved strength, clarity and shatter resistance.
