Hi All.
Yesterday a colleague told me a thin oxide layer is present on his CMOS chip. I always thought the final passivation layer of any CMOS chip was Silicon nitride however this colleague says that a thin layer of oxide grows on top of this Nitride layer. Can anyone on the EDA board verify his claims?
This fact is very important to my colleague you see as he has an ISFET chip and the oxide on top of his silicon nitride interferes with his sensing sensitivity.
Many thanks,
James
