Abstract
High voltage (200-400 volts) Zener diodes having much improved resistance to degradation under 150.degree. C. HTRB are obtained by a junction passivation comprising a thermal oxide next to the silicon, covered by a TEOS CVD glass, a CVD nitride and a further TEOS CVD glass. Multiple Zener voltages are obtained with otherwise identical, simultaneous wafer processing steps by using epi-wafers having different epi doping and thickness. Back-side lap for wafer thinning is avoided.
