Abstract: A process for the formation of a device edge morphological structure (30) for protecting and sealing peripherally an electronic circuit integrated in a major surface (5) of a substrate of semiconductor material (6) is of the type that calls for formation above the major surface (5) of at least one dielectric multilayer (20) comprising a layer of amorphous planarizing material (22) having a continuous portion extending between two contiguous areas with a more internal first area (3') and a more external second area (4') in the morphological structure (30). In accordance with the present invention inside the device edge morphological structure (30) in the substrate (6) is formed an excavation on the side of the major surface (5) the more internal first area (3') of the morphological structure (30) in a zone in which is present the continuous portion of the dielectric multilayer (20).
