Abstract
A new planarizing passivation scheme has been developed. The passivation sequence consists of a planarized SiO2 (deposition/etch-back/deposition ; similar to that for the intermetal dielectric in-situ planarization) with a sandwich of PSG and low-stress/low-hydrogen silicon nitride on top. The different process steps, and properties of the deposited materials will be described (e.g. mechanical stress and hydrogen content).
