Abstract
The invention relates generally to use of a silicon oxynitride film which exhibits desirable physical and chemical properties; superiority in adhesion to metals including noble metals and other metals, transparent conductive oxides, and semiconductor materials compared to silicon dioxide and silicon nitride; is wet-etchable, dry-etchable, or both; and operates as a high-performance overcoat barrier dielectric. The silicon oxynitride film meets performance requirements via a process that does not require an adhesion layer for deposition, and does not contaminate, obscure, or damage the device through incorporation or processing of additional adhesion layers.
