A method of fabricating a metal thin film-on-glass structure. A glass substrate, on a top surface of which a layer is formed, is prepared. A local area of the glass substrate is etched from a bottom of the glass substrate to expose the layer downwardly, thereby forming an exposed area of the layer. The layer is a metal thin film. The etching includes first-etching the glass substrate to a depth less than a thickness of the glass substrate using a first etching solution containing hydrofluoric acid and at least one of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, resulting in a first-etched portion of the glass substrate; and second-etching the first-etched portion of the glass substrate using an etching solution containing hydrofluoric acid without nitric acid or sulfuric acid, so that the layer is exposed downwardly, whereby the metal thin film is supported by a remaining portion of the glass substrate.

Asymmetrically strengthened glass articles, methods for producing the same, and use of the articles in portable electronic device is disclosed. Using a budgeted amount of compressive stress and tensile stress, asymmetric chemical strengthening is optimized for the utility of a glass article. In some aspects, the strengthened glass article can be designed for reduced damage, or damage propagation, when dropped.

To provide a glass laminate of which an increase of the peel strength between a glass substrate and a silicone resin layer is suppressed even after a high temperature heat treatment, and from which the glass substrate can readily be separated. A glass laminate comprising a support substrate, a silicone resin layer and a glass substrate in this order, with a peel strength at the interface between the support substrate and the silicon resin layer higher than the peel strength at the interface between the silicone resin layer and the glass substrate, wherein a silicone resin in the silicone resin layer is a cured product obtained by reacting an alkenyl-group containing organopolysiloxane (A) and a hydrogen polysiloxane (B) having a hydrosilyl group, and the mixing molar ratio of the hydrosilyl groups in the hydrogen polysiloxane (B) to the alkenyl groups in the alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane (A) (that is, number of mols of hydrosilyl groups/number of mols of alkenyl groups) is from 0.15/1 to 0.65/1.

The present disclosure is directed to a vessel having a lumen defined at least in part by a wall, the wall having an interior surface facing the lumen, and the interior surface comprising a coating. The coating is configured to prevent the leaching of metal ions from the vessel wall into a fluid contained within the lumen and stored in contact with the coating. The vessels are used to store an aqueous drug product, typically an aqueous drug product containing an active agent and one or more excepients, such as a polysorbate stabilizer. The coated vessels are effective to reduce degradation of the active agent and/or one or more excipients, e.g. a polysorbate stabilizer.

A superstrate can include a body having a surface; a buffer layer overlying the surface; and a protective layer overlying the buffer layer, wherein the protective layer has a surface roughness that is equal to or less than a surface roughness of the surface of the body. The protective layer can include a material that can be selectively removed with respect to the buffer layer, and the buffer layer can include a material that can be selectively removed with respect to the body of the superstrate. The superstrate can be used for more planarization or other processing sequences before the body needs to be replaced, as any defects that may form extend into the protective layer or buffer layer and not reach the body. The layers can be removed and replaced by corresponding new layers without significantly adversely affecting the body.

A glass-based substrate having a Young's modulus, a first surface, and a second surface. A coating, on at least one of the first and second surfaces, having a Young's modulus equal to or greater than the substrate Young's modulus. A compressive region having a compressive stress CS of from 750 MPa to 1200 MPa at a surface and extending to a depth of compression (DOC). The compressive region having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending from the first surface up to a first depth, the second portion extending from the first depth to the DOC, points in the first portion comprise a tangent having a slope that is less than −15 MPa/micrometers and greater than −60 MPa/micrometers, and points in the second portion comprise a tangent having a slope that is less than or equal to −1 MPa/micrometers and greater than −12 MPa/micrometers.

A medical glass container, a coat is formed on at least a part of an inner wall of the glass container, wherein the coat is a diamond-like carbon film that does not contain silicon.
