Abstract: A chemically modified anti-reflective (AR) coating is provided having improved durability. The AR coating may be a polymerized alkoxy siloxane-based material that includes a densifier in the form of an organic or inorganic phosphorus (P)-based compound, boron (B)-based compound, antimony (Sb)-based compound, bismuth (Bi)-based compound, lead (Pb)-based compound, arsenic (As)-based compound, or combinations thereof. At least one residue of the densifier may be chemically and/or physically incorporated into the polymerized alkoxy siloxane-based material.

Abstract: Crosslinkable compositions are disclosed herein that comprise at least one silicon-based material comprising at least one alkyl group and at least one aryl or aromatic group, at least one catalyst, and at least one solvent.

Abstract: The invention relates to low temperature curable spin-on glass materials which are useful for electronic applications, such as optical devices, in particular for flat panel displays. A substantially crack-free silicon polymer film is produced by (a) preparing a composition comprising at least one silicon containing pre-polymer, colloidal silica, an optional catalyst, and optional water; (b) coating a substrate with the composition to form a film on the substrate, (c) crosslinking the composition by heating to produce a substantially crack-free silicon polymer film, having a thickness of from about 700 ? to about 20,000 ?, and a transparency to light in the range of about 400 nm to about 800 nm of about 90% or more.
