Abstract :
The paper describes the technology of a passivating Si3N4 layer on the mesa surface of punchthrough diodes. The influence of the free mesa surface on the d.c. performance is given for different gases. Stable I/V characteristics of punch-through diodes can be obtained by annealing in a dry N2 atmosphere before Si3N4 passivation.
