SEMICONDUCTOR DIE WITH IMPROVED RUGGEDNESS

Abstract:

A semiconductor die includes a substrate, a first passivation layer over the substrate, and a second passivation layer over the first passivation layer and the substrate. The substrate has boundaries defined by a substrate termination edge. The first passivation layer is over the substrate such that it terminates at a first passivation termination edge that is inset from the substrate termination edge by a first distance. The second passivation layer is over the first passivation layer and the substrate such that it terminates at a second passivation termination edge that is inset from the substrate termination edge by a second distance. The second distance is less than the first distance such that the second passivation layer overlaps the first passivation layer.
