Abstract:
A method of forming a bonding pad comprising:providing a metal bonding pad with a free surface;forming a metal oxide film on the free surface of the metal bonding pad;forming a first film upon said metal oxide film by:providing a monomer in a solvent carrier;depositing said monomer upon said metal oxide film, said monomer being selected from the group consisting of acetylene, p-phenylene, aniline, thiophene, and mixtures thereof; andremoving at least some of said solvent carrier;forming a second film upon said first film; andcausing said second film to at least partially oxidize said first film, whereby said first film achieves an increased electrical conductivity, and whereby said first film causes at least a portion of said metal oxide film to reduce to a metallic film.
