We describe the recent developments on the diamond-like carbon (DLC) over-coated Microstrip Gas Chambers made on drawn glass substrates. MSGC surface coating with thin DLC layer of stable and controlled resistivity was proposed to overcome the limitation of detector operation due to surface charging-up under avalanches. This brings also advantages for the detector manufacturing technology. The thin layer, deposited on top of a manufactured MSGC (over-coating), demonstrates xcellent mechanical properties and very good stability. We report on recent measurements with DLC over-coated MSGCs of various surface resistivities (ranging from 10 Ω/❒ to 10Ω/❒ ) on D-263 and AF45 glass substrates. Overcoated MSGCs exhibit good rate capability for the resistivity of the surface around 10 Ω/❒ . Stable operation up to 50 mC/cm of accumulated charge f om avalanches has been demonstrated.
