BARRIERLESS HIGH-TEMPERATURE LIFT-OFF PROCESS FOR FORMING A PATTERNED INTERCONNECTION LAYER

摘要

A lift-off metal deposition process in which a high temperature polyimide layer (i.e. a polyimide having a high imidization temperature) is applied to a first polyimide layer. The two layers are anisotropically etched through a photoresist mask to form vias in the first polyimide layer. After application of a metal layer, the high-temperature polyimide layer is lifted off the first polyimide layer, which remains as a passivation layer.
