In this work, we report the effects of curing time on properties of SiO2 films produced from Spin-On Glass (SOG) diluted with H2O and cured at 200°C. The electrical characterization showed that the insulator breakdown field for the films produced from SOG diluted with H2O with 1 Hr of curing time was approximately 5 MV/cm while for 6.5 Hrs of curing time the breakdown field was 21 MV/cm. Also, the refractive index and surface roughness were improved with longer curing time.
