Methods of forming semiconductor devices including mesa structures and multiple passivation layers and related devices

摘要

A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a semiconductor structure on a substrate wherein the semiconductor structure defines a mesa having a mesa surface opposite the substrate and mesa sidewalls between the mesa surface and the substrate. A first passivation layer can be formed on at least portions of the mesa sidewalls and on the substrate adjacent the mesa sidewalls wherein at least a portion of the mesa surface is free of the first passivation layer and wherein the first passivation layer comprises a first material. A second passivation layer can be formed on the first passivation layer wherein at least a portion of the mesa surface is free of the second passivation layer, and wherein the second passivation layer comprises a second material different than the first material. Related devices are also discussed.
