A multi-layer and method of making the same are provided. The multi-layer, such as a sensor, can include a high strength glass overlay and a lamination layer on a substrate layer. The overlay can be less than 250 micrometers thick and have at least one tempered surface incorporating a surface compression layer of at least 5 micrometers deep and a surface compressive stress of at least 200 MPa. The overlay can exhibit a puncture factor of at least 3000 N/&#x3bc;mat B10 (10percentile of the probability distribution of failure) in a multi-layer structure, an apparent thickness of less than 0.014 mm, and a pencil hardness greater than 6H. The method can include ion-exchange tempering at least one major surface of a glass sheet, light etching the major surface to remove flaws and laminating the glass sheet on the tempered and lightly etched major surface to a substrate layer.

Multi-layer structure and method of making same

A laminate including a glass sheet and a first polymer layer laminated to a first surface of the glass sheet. The glass sheet has a thickness of from 5 to 500 microns, and the first polymer layer provides a coating factor (F) to the glass sheet. The laminate is curved so that a second surface of the glass sheet is disposed in a concave shape; and the coating factor (F) is less than 1. A second polymer layer may be disposed on the second surface of the glass sheet, and its properties may be chosen relative to those of the first polymer layer so as to reduce the maximum principle stress-due to a bending moment-in the glass as compared to a bare glass sheet.
