Stability of an underlying dielectric diffusion barrier during deposition and ultraviolet (UV) processing of an overlying dielectric layer is critical for successful integration. UV-resistant diffusion barrier layers are formed by depositing the layer in a hydrogen-starved environment. Diffusion barrier layers can be made more resistant to UV radiation by thermal, plasma, or UV treatment during or after deposition. Lowering the modulus of the diffusion barrier layer can also improve the resistance to UV radiation.

In a spark plug, a main gap is formed between the center electrode and the ground electrode, and an auxiliary gap is formed between the center electrode and a projecting inner edge formed at an open end portion of the metallic shell. The inner wall surface of the metallic shell extending from a terraced portion toward the tip end of the metallic shell is tapered such that the diameter of the inner wall surface decreases toward the tip end of the metallic shell by an amount of 0.6 mm or more. Through reduction of a gas volume defined by the insulator and the inner wall surface of the metallic shell, entry of high temperature combustion gas can be reduced to thereby decrease a thermal load imposed on the insulator, while entry of carbon can be minimized to thereby prevent contamination. Accordingly, heat resistance and contamination resistance can be significantly improved, and thus the range of operation of the spark plug can be widened.
