Abstract

An integrated circuit device with a low stress, thin film, protective overcoat having enhanced adhesion both to polymeric materials used in packaging-semiconductor devices, and within the passivating film layers, including the following sequence of materials deposited by PECVD processing: a thin film of silicon dioxide, a layer of silicon nitride, oxy-nitride or silicon carbide, and a very thin topmost layer of silicon oxide.
