  • Combination glass/low temperature deposited Si.sub.w N.sub.x H.sub.y O.sub. z
    Patent number: 4097889
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a body of semiconductor material with a metallic conductor disposed thereon has a combination glass/low-temperature-(typically 300.degree. C) deposited Si.sub.w N.sub.x H.sub.y O.sub.z passivating overcoat with improved crack and corrosion resistance. This nitride is formed over the conductor, with the glass over the nitride.
    Type: Grant
