Lead glass passivation (glassivation) of semiconductor chips has been investigated. Glassivation of BC107 type transistor chips has resulted in improved robustness and their ability to withstand ionic contamination better than control chips. Increased yields were observed when glassivated transistor chips were assembled in ceramic flat packages.
