Abstract
We present some test results of microstrip gas chambers with bore-silicate glass substrates, which were coated before the photolithographic processing . We compare various coatings: sputtered S8900 glass and three coatings mad e by industrial companies (SURMET, VITO and ICMC). The composition and elec trical properties of the different materials are discussed. Gain, current a nd rate capability are compared with those obtained from identical uncoated glass substrates.
