Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor component, comprising: providing a substrate having a major surface; forming a first electrically conductive material over the major surface, the first electrically conductive material having first and second edges; forming a first layer of photoresist over the first electrically conductive material; removing a first portion of the first layer of photoresist leaving first and second sidewalls from a remaining portion of the first layer of photoresist and a gap between the first and second sidewalls; forming a second electrically conductive material in the gap between the first and second sidewalls of the first layer of photoresist, the second electrically conductive material having first and second edges; forming a second layer of photoresist over the first layer of photoresist and over the second electrically conductive material; removing a portion of the second layer of photoresist and a second portion of the first layer of photoresist to uncover the first and second edges of the second electrically conductive material; and forming a protective structure over the first and second edges of the second electrically conductive material.
