Abstract:
A method for processing a semiconductor device in accordance with various embodiments may include: depositing a first metallization layer over a semiconductor workpiece; patterning the first metallization layer; and depositing a second metallization layer over the patterned first metallization layer, wherein depositing the second metallization layer includes an electroless deposition process including immersing the patterned first metallization layer in a metal electrolyte.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a metal line over a substrate and depositing an alloying material layer over a top surface of the metal line. The method further includes forming a protective layer by combining the alloying material layer with the metal line.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip having a first main surface and a second main surface. A chip electrode is disposed on the first main surface. The chip electrode includes a first metal layer and wherein the first metal layer is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the second metal layer.
