Chemical vapor deposition processes and coated articles are disclosed. The process includes a first introducing of a first amount of silane to the enclosed chamber, the first amount of the silane remaining within the enclosed chamber for a first period of time, a first decomposing of the first amount of the silane during at least a portion of the first period of time, a second introducing of a second amount of the silane to the enclosed chamber, the second amount of the silane remaining within the enclosed chamber for a second period of time, and a second decomposing of the second amount of the silane during at least a portion of the second period of time. The process is devoid of inert gas purging between the first decomposing and the second introducing and/or produces a chemical vapor deposition coating devoid of hydrogen bubbles.
