Metal patterned structure for SiN surface adhesion enhancement

摘要

A method of improving adhesion of a surface including the following steps. A structure having an upper surface is provided. A composite anchor layer is formed over the upper surface of the structure. The composite anchor layer including at least an upper anchor sub-layer and a lower anchor sub-layer. The upper anchor sub-layer is patterned to form a dense pattern of upper sub-anchors. The lower anchor sub-layer is then patterned using the upper sub-anchors as masks to form lower sub-anchors. The respective upper sub-anchors and lower sub-anchors form a dense pattern of anchors whereby the dense pattern of anchors over the upper surface improve the adhesion of the surface.
