Abstract

There is disclosed a method of forming a multi-layer passivant system including a layer of oxygen doped polycrystalline silicon over the semiconductor substrate. A layer of silicon dioxide is thermally grown over the oxygen doped polycrystalline silicon layer. If desired, layers of glass and an additional oxide layer can be formed over the thermally grown oxide.
