16. It has been brought to our attention that Sanji et al. (Sanji, T.; Sakamoto, K.; Sakurai, H.; Nakazato, A.; Ono, K. Sendai International Symposium on the Frontiers of Organosilicon Chemistry, Sendai, Japan, 1994, p 198) recently analyzed the kinetics of this process for a presumably thick, solvent-cast film. Although the morphology of solvent-cast films is different from spin-cast ones, the general conclusions on the dimensionality of growth of thick films are in agreement with our thick-film results. The actual film thickness or its effect on the kinetics were not mentioned.
