The first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film has a refractive index (n1) in the range of about 1.46 to 3, and complex refractive index (N1=n1+ik1), where k1 is an extinction coefficient in a range of about 0 to 0.5. The first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film may be either intrinsic or doped. In one aspect, the first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film has nanoparticles with a size in the range of about 1 to 10 nm. A second non-stoichiometric SiOX2NY2 thin-film may overlie the first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film, where Y1≠Y2. The second non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film may be intrinsic and doped.
