    摘要: A structure and method for creating a contact between a conductive layer and a pad for dissipating electrostatic charges comprising the steps of, forming a pad and a composite insulating layer between and over conductive plates on a substrate, wherein the insulating layer isolates and protects the conductive plates and pad from damage, the insulating layer comprising a dielectric region underlying a conductive layer. A passivation layer is formed over at least a portion of the conductive layer and a photoresist is patterned over at least a portion of the passivation. An opening is etched through the passivation and the insulating layers, wherein the photoresist and the conductive layer serve as masks. Finally, a conductive material is deposited in the opening to form an electrical contact between the pad and the conductive layer.

    摘要: A structure and method is disclosed for grounding an electrostatic discharge device of an integrated circuit to dissipate electrostatic charges comprising an underlying dielectric layer disposed over capacitor plates of sensor circuitry and a conductive layer disposed over the underlying dielectric layer, wherein the conductive layer diffuses electrostatic charges at the surface of the integrated circuit to ground. The conductive material not only dissipates electrostatic charges to the ground, but may also protect at least a portion of the edge of the sensor chip from mechanical stress.
