    Abstract: AN INTEGRATED FABRICATION METHOD OF FORMING CONNECTORS THROUGH INSULATIVE LAYERS In integrated circuit fabrication, a method is provided for forming metallic connectors through a layer of electrically insulative material. The method comprises forming a layer of electrically insulative material on a substrate and then forming a mask of photoresist material having a plurality of openings through which said insulative layer is exposed on said insulative layer. Then, the exposed portions of said insulative layer are removed by etching to form openings through which the underlying substrate is exposed, after which a first metal layer is deposited over the masked substrate. This metal layer is thinner than the insulative layer so that the openings in the insulative layer are only filled part way up with metal. Then, the photoresist mask is removed thereby removing the metal layer deposited on it to leave only the metal in the insulative layer openings. Next, a second layer of metal is deposited over the first insulative layer and over the remaining metal in said openings, after which portions of the second metal layer over the insulative layer are removed to form a metallization pattern which is continuous with the metal in said openings.

    Abstract: In the process a first and a second layer (12 or 14 respectively) of insulative material, first layer (12) being etchable selectively in the presence of second layer (14) and a photoresist layer (16), are deposited successively. A pattern corresponding to the negative of the desires metallurgy pattern is formed photolithographically followed by the etching of the areas of layers (12) and (14) not covered by the photoresist. Then a blanket metal layer (24) is deposited. Thereon a planarizing photoresist layer (26, 28) is applied and subsequently etched to expose high spots (32) of metal layer (24), and finally metal high spots (32) are etched to a depth sufficient to expose the surface of second layer (14). … The process is useful in forming planar single- or multilevel metal interconnection systems for integrated circuits with high component density.
