In the manufacturing process of an IC,the procedure of sealing off the epitaxial layer with silicon dioxide is called ________,
A) compensation
B) sealation
C) passivation
D) crystallization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passivation is the process of sealing off the surface of an IC with silicon dioxide to protect it from external contaminants and prevent the diffusion of impurities into the device. Compensation refers to the adjustment of circuit parameters to improve performance, sealation is not a commonly used term in IC manufacturing, and crystallization does not typically refer to the sealing process.
