ABSTRACT:
In the present method for fabricating metal interconnections, a Ni film is deposited on an insulating substrate by electroless plating, and a photoresist film is formed in a specified pattern on the Ni film. An Au film is deposited by electroless plating in a region where the Ni film is exposed and where the resist is not formed. The photoresist film is removed, and the Ni film exposed by the removal of the photoresist film is removed by etching. A Cu film is formed on the Au film by electroplating or electroless plating selectively. This method consists of only wet deposition process, involves less etching process and provides metal interconnections of low resistance.
