They should use semiconductor grade silicon glass/ Si02 for the envelope.
Hydrgen meeting oxygen at 1000c will instantly form steam.
Semiconductor oxidation is most rapidly done in steam. The steam is made by flowing oxygen and hydrogen into a special 'torch' chamber where it is flame on. Keep the mix 'oxygen rich' to avoid possible left over hydrgen, which is a no-no.
Hydrogen is WAY reactive and if I were doing the process would flow a TCA mix into the glass tube to do a chemical getter. Works in semiconductor industry.
Too much is never enough
