passivation [‚pas·ə′vā·shən] (electronics) Growth of an oxide layer on the surface of a semiconductor to provide electrical stability by isolating the transistor surface from electrical and chemical conditions in the environment; this reduces reverse-current leakage, increases breakdown voltage, and raises power dissipation rating. (metallurgy) To render passive; to reduce the reactivity of a chemically active metal surface by electrochemical polarization or by immersion in a passivating solution.

Dryer can passivation was also mentioned as a way to eliminate picking. To prevent oxidation problems and still take advantage of the high recording density potential of MP media, metal particles used in DDS media are typically coated with a passivation layer material. Semiconductor junction coatings JC-3811 and 3812 are said to be high purity, 100% solids siloxane systems designed for passivation and protection of semiconductor devices. |
