ABSTRACT:
A passivation technique which significantly reduces degradation in reverse breakdown voltage characteristics usually introduced by passivation of active regions of field effect transistors is described. The technique uses a surface treatment in a plasma to introduce into the surface an electro-negative species to maintain negative surface potential of the surface subsequent to encapsulation by the passivation material.
