Abstract: A method includes depositing a surface modification layer on sidewalls of a plurality of cavities of a shaped article. The surface modification layer is formed from a glass material including a mobile component. The shaped article is formed from a glass material, a glass ceramic material, or a combination thereof. At least a portion of the mobile component is migrated from the surface modification layer into surface regions of the sidewalls of the shaped article, whereby subsequent to the migration, the surface regions have a reduced annealing point compared to a bulk of the shaped article. The surface modification layer and the surface regions of the sidewalls are reflowed. A surface roughness of the surface modification layer disposed on the sidewalls following the reflowing is less than a surface roughness of the sidewalls prior to the depositing.
