TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION<br />

• Devices were encapsulated in 8-pin plastic DIPs.<br />

• Lead-locking provisions (anchors and holes) were present at all pins.<br />

• Thermosonic ball bond method employing 1.3 mil O.D. gold wire.<br />

• Silver-filled polyimide die attach.<br />

• Sawn dicing (full depth).<br />

Die Process and Design<br />

• Fabrication process: Linear Power BiCMOS process with N-epi, P-well, P+ iso,<br />

and N+ buried layer, incorporating N and P channel MOS, DMOS, NPN and PNP<br />

transistors.<br />

• Final passivation: Two layers of passivation were employed. A layer of nitride over<br />

a layer of silicon-dioxide.<br />

• Metallization: Two levels of silicon-doped aluminum defined by dry-etch<br />

techniques. No caps or barriers were present. Standard contacts and vias (no<br />

plugs). In the DMOS area metal 2 was placed directly on metal 1.<br />

• Intermetal Dielectric (IMD): Intermetal dielectric consisted of single layer of glass.<br />

No planarization technique was used.<br />

• Pre-metal glass: A single layer of reflow glass was used. Reflow was done prior to<br />

contact cuts. Grown and densified oxides were also present.<br />
