Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to materials produced by diluting in a solvent a preceramic mixture of a partially hydrolyzed silicate ester which is applied to a substrate and ceramified by heating. One or more ceramic coatings containing silicon carbon, silicon nitrogen, or silicon carbon nitrogen can be applied over the ceramified SiO 2 coating. A CVD or PECVD top coating can be applied for further protection. The invention is particularly useful for coating electronic devices.

Claim 89
Dependent Claim
238 words
A process for forming on an electronic device a dual layer, ceramic or ceramic-like coating which process comprises: (A) coating an electronic device with a coating by means of diluting a hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester preceramic material with a solvent, coating an electronic device with said diluted preceramic hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester solution, drying the diluted preceramic hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester solution so as to evaporate the solvent and thereby deposit a preceramic coating on the electronic device, ceramifying the hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester in air, or in water vapor and air, to silicon dioxide by heating the coated device to a temperature between 200 and 1000 degrees Centigrade to produce the ceramic or ceramic-like coating, and, (B) applying to the ceramic or ceramic-like coated device a passivating coating comprising a silicon nitrogen-containing material produced by means of diluting in a solvent a preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing polymer, coating the ceramic or ceramic-like coated device with the preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing polymer solution, drying the preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing polymer solution so as to evaporate the solvent and thereby deposit a preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing coating on the ceramic or ceramic-like coated electronic device, and heating the coated device to a temperature between 200 and 1000 degrees Centigrade in an inert or ammonia-containing atmosphere to produce the passivating silicon nitrogen-containing coating, thereby producing a dual layer, ceramic or ceramic-like coating on the electronic device.
Claim 90
Dependent Claim
238 words
A process for forming on an electronic device a dual layer, ceramic or ceramic-like coating which process comprises: (A) coating an electronic device with a coating by means of diluting a hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester preceramic material with a solvent, coating an electronic device with said diluted preceramic hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester solution, drying the diluted preceramic hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester solution so as to evaporate the solvent and thereby deposit a preceramic coating on the electronic device, ceramifying the hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silicate ester in air, or in water vapor and air, to silicon dioxide by heating the coated device to a temperature between 200 and 1000 degrees Centigrade to produce the ceramic or ceramic-like coating, and, (B) applying to the ceramic or ceramic-like coated device a passivating coating comprising a silicon nitrogen-containing material produced by means of diluting in a solvent a preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing polymer, coating the ceramic or ceramic-like coated device with the preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing polymer solution, drying the preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing polymer solution so as to evaporate the solvent and thereby deposit a preceramic silicon nitrogen-containing coating on the ceramic or ceramic-like coated electronic device, and heating the coated device to a temperature between 200 and 1000 degrees Centigrade in an inert or ammonia-containing atmosphere to produce the passivating silicon nitrogen-containing coating, thereby producing a dual layer, ceramic or ceramic-like coating on the electronic device.
Claim 91
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of coating a substrate with a ceramic or ceramic-like silicon nitrogen-containing material, wherein said method comprises the steps of: (1) diluting with a solvent a silicon and nitrogen-containing preceramic polymer produced by reacting a cyclic silazane or a mixture of cyclic silazanes with a silicon-containing material selected from the group consisting of halodisilanes and halosilanes; (2) coating a substrate with the diluted preceramic polymer solvent solution; (3) drying the diluted polymer solvent solution in the absence of air so as to evaporate the solvent and thereby deposit a preceramic polymer coating on the substrate; and (4) heating the coated substrate in the absence of air to produce a ceramic or ceramic-like coated substrate.
Claim 92
Independent Claim
115 words

Claim 93
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as claimed in claim 75 wherein the substrate is the surface of an electronic device.
