A transparent low refractive index SiO2 film laminated on a glass substrate at room temperature by photochemical reactions with the Xe2* excimer lamp (172nm). This SiO2 film grown on the fused silica glass was proved to avoid reflection of light.
A refractive index of the SiO2 film was 1.36. After annealing the film for one hour at 200 degrees centigrade, the refractive index increased to 1.42. The refractive index increased as the F atom density in the SiO 2 film decreased.
