  • Abstract
    A special lift-off technique for realizing small metal interconnection geometries for integrated circuits is described. 0.6-μm gaps between metal conductors can be obtained even at 0.8-μm metal layer thickness. The slopes of the conductors are tapered. Etching problems inherent in alloy films or sandwiched layers such as Al/Si or Al/Cu/Si are avoided by the technique proposed. SEM micrographs of Al/Si conductor patterns are presented.
