Patent ID: 8008196

Claim:
A method of forming a metal pattern on a dielectric material, comprising: forming at least one trench in a photosensitive, insulative material, the at least one trench positioned over at least one bond pad, by removing a portion of the photosensitive, insulative material positioned over the at least one bond pad while another portion of the photosensitive, insulative material positioned over the at least one bond pad remains between the at least one bond pad and the at least one trench; forming a metal material over the photosensitive, insulative material and into the at least one trench; forming a photoresist material over the metal material; removing a portion of the photoresist material to expose elevated areas of the metal material such that a remaining portion of the photoresist material does not extend beyond sidewalls of the at least one trench and onto the elevated areas of the metal material; and removing the metal material exposed laterally beyond the remaining portion of the photoresist material.
