I've just realized while hacking at the script to generate the GDS files for ordering the masks that we don't have a glass layer planned yet ^^' (It's in the layout) I would have to add another step/mask in order to deposit another layer of silicon-oxide for that at the end and etch it.

Is it crucial to have glass or can we just skip it for now? ^^'

Well, the Test Pad cells using the GLASS layer :-)

Skip the GLASS layer for PearlRiver.

This saves money for the mask and we do not have advantages of using GLASS.

Later we should use passivation for better reliability of the chips.
