Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to materials produced by diluting in a solvent a hydrogen silsesquioxane resin solvent solution 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.
