Abstract

A plurality of discrete transistor devices are produced on a semiconductor wafer and isolated from one another by moat etching. A passivation layer is then deposited in the moats separating the discrete transistor devices. The semiconductor wafer is then scribed and broken along lines delineated by the moats. The disclosed method permits testing of each discrete transistor device prior to separation from the wafer.
