Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a substrate particularly designed to bear an active structure made according to thin-film technology. The advantage of the disclosed substrate is that it can be made in large sizes and at low cost. To this end, the substrate 1 has an soda-lime glass plate passivated by means of two superimposed layers. The layer in contact with the glass plate is a barrier layer against the alkaline constituents and the layer deposited on the barrier layer has the function of preventing the effect, on the barrier layer, of the products designed to etch the elements that form the active structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An electrically insulating substrate, comprising: a soda-lime type glass plate; at least one barrier layer formed of amorphous hydrogenated carburated silicon a-Si 1-x C x :H, wherein x ranges from 0.5 to 1 or of a hydrogenated silicon nitride a-SiN z :H on at least one surface of the glass plate, which forms a barrier against the alkaline constituents of the glass plate; and at least one etch-resistant layer formed of a hydrogenated amorphous silica a-SiO y :H, or of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxynitride a-SiO u N 1-u :H deposited on said at least one barrier layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An electrically insulating substrate, comprising: a soda-lime type glass plate; at least one barrier layer formed of amorphous hydrogenated carburated silicon a-Si 1-x C x :H, wherein x ranges from 0.5 to 1 or of a hydrogenated silicon nitride a-SiN z :H on at least one surface of the glass plate, which forms a barrier against the alkaline constituents of the glass plate; and at least one etch-resistant layer formed of a hydrogenated amorphous silica a-SiO y :H, or of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxynitride a-SiO u N 1-u :H deposited on said at least one barrier layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The insulating substrate of claim 1, wherein the thickness of said etch-resistant layer formed of hydrogenated amorphous silica is greater than the thickness of the barrier layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
