Integrated circuit having a metallization level of different thicknesses

摘要

An integrated circuit having a metallization level of different thicknesses includes a track formed in a small thickness portion and an inductor formed in a large thickness portion. In a preferred device, the large thickness portion comprises a first part having a straight edge and a second part having a concave edge, the portion being formed of first and second metal layers separated by an etch stop layer. An Independent claim is given for a method for forming the metallization structure by mask etching techniques.
