On a transparent substrate, by use of, for instance, vapor deposition, an Al film is formed. Subsequently, with a DC-bias applied on a surface of the Al film, a first zinc oxide thin film is formed by use of a sputtering method. On a surface of the first zinc oxide thin film, according to an atmospheric MO-CVD method, a second zinc oxide thin film is formed. When the second zinc oxide thin film deposited by use of an MO-CVD method is formed on the first zinc oxide thin film having a-axis orientation, the second zinc oxide thin film becomes to have the a-axis orientation. Since the Al thin film, owing to heat during the deposition by use of the MO-CVD method, is absorbed in the first zinc oxide thin film, the transparency is improved. As a result, a sample having a ZnO/ZnO/Al/glass structure becomes high in the transparency as a whole.

Methods for machining glass structures may be performed on fusion-drawn glass laminates having a core layer interposed between a first cladding layer and a second cladding layer. The core layer may be formed from a core glass composition having a core photosensitivity, the first cladding layer may be formed from a glass composition having a photosensitivity different from the core photosensitivity, and the second cladding layer may be formed from a glass composition having a photosensitivity different from the core photosensitivity. At least one of the core layer, the first cladding layer, and the second cladding layer is a photomachinable layer. The methods may include exposing a selected region of a photomachinable layer in the fusion-drawn laminate to ultraviolet radiation; heating the glass structure until the selected region crystallizes; and removing the crystallized material selectively from the photomachinable layer.

The present invention provides a method of making a decorated multilayer glass structure using a single firing step that includes that use of a crystallizing glass enamel composition that contains ingredients to ensure the complete burnout of the organic portion of the composition upon firing and bending of a mated pair of glass sheets. A benefit of the composition is that when applied to one sheet of a mated pair of glass sheets, it burns out completely during firing and bending of the pair. The presence of high levels of oxidizers in the composition ensures a supply of oxygen to enable combustion of the organic vehicle while firing the glass sheets and prior to the sintering of the enamel composition to only one glass sheet in a mated pair of decorated or colored glass sheets.
