Patent number: 10868899Abstract: A method to provide compressive stress to substrates includes depositing a film on a ceramic substrate at a deposition temperature (Td) to form an article, the film having a difference relative to the ceramic substrate at Td in a coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) of at least 1.0×10?6/K and a difference in a refractive index >0.10. At least a portion of the thickness the film is converted in at least one of composition, phase and microstructure by lowering or raising the temperature from Td to reach a changed temperature (Tc) that is at least 100° C. different from Td. The film converting conditions result in the converted film portion providing a difference in refractive index at the Tc between the converted film and the ceramic substrate of ?|0.10|. The temperature of the article is then lowered to room temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignees: ENTEGRIS, INC., UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.Inventors: Rajiv K.
