Abstract:
A semiconductor substrate structure comprising:a substrate;a conductor supported by the substrate, the conductor having an outer surface and a pair of spaced-apart conductive sidewalls joining with the outer surface at respective corners;a first layer of material disposed over the substrate, over all of one of the sidewalls of the conductor, and over only a portion of the conductor's outer surface and over only a portion of the other of the conductor's sidewalls; the first layer of material being of generally uniform thickness over the conductor's outer surface, the conductive sidewalls and at least one of the corners; anda second layer of material having a generally non-uniform thickness disposed over the substrate, the second layer of material having a non-planar outer surface, the second layer of material having an opening therethrough to the conductor's outer surface and the other sidewall which do not have first layer material disposed thereover.
