Planarizers for spin etch planarization of electronic components and methods of use thereof

摘要

An electronic component contemplated comprises a) a substrate layer, b) a dielectric layer coupled to the substrate layer, c) a barrier layer coupled to the dielectric layer, d) a conductive layer coupled to the barrier layer, and e) a protective layer coupled to the conductive layer. The electronic component contemplated herein can be produced by a) providing a substrate; b) coupling a dielectric layer to the substrate; c) coupling a barrier layer to the dielectric layer; d) coupling a conductive layer to the barrier layer; and e) coupling a protective layer to the conductive layer. The protective layer may then be cured to a desirable hardness. A method of planarizing a conductive surface of an electronic component may comprise a) introducing or coupling a protective layer onto a conductive layer; b) dispersing the protective layer across the conductive layer; c) curing the protective layer; d) introducing an etching solution onto the conductive layer; and e) etching the conductive surface to substantial planarity.
