摘要： A method for forming a dielectric oxide layer on selected areas of a substrate is disclosed. The dielectric oxide layer is formed on selected areas of the substrate using a sol process. The substrate has an area of a first material and an area of a second material which is different from the first. The first material is coated with a layer of a first compound. The layer of the first compound has a hydrophobic top surface. The second material is coated with a layer of a second compound. The layer of the second compound has a hydrophilic top surface. A layer of hydrous oxide is formed over the second compound by applying an aqueous sol solution on the surface of the substrate. The substrate is then heated to remove the first compound and the second compound from the surface of the substrate. Thereafter, the substrate with the layer of hydrous oxide thereon, is sintered to form the dielectric oxide layer.

摘要： A silica body useful for forming an optical fiber preform exhibits an ultimate strength of at least 20 MPa at 10 wt. % water loss. The body attains this strength, it is believed, by precipitation of silica at the contact sites of adjacent silica particles, thereby forming neck regions. The resultant network provides the strength to the gel body, such that the body is capable of being dried under more severe conditions than a gel body formed by previous sol-gel methods and is also more robust toward handling. The controlled precipitation is attained by inducing gelation and initiating drying at a pH of about 10.5 or higher, at which silica remains highly soluble. By gelling and drying at this pH level, the solubilized silica appears to precipitate in a controlled manner at the point of contact of adjacent silica particles, since such sites are the minimum free energy sites for precipitation.
