Patent ID: 7491639

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a semiconductor body, the semiconductor device including at least one semiconductor element that is equipped with at least one connection region connected to a superjacent strip-shaped connection conductor, the connection region and the superjacent strip-shaped connection conductor both being recessed in a dielectric layer, the method comprising: providing a first material in a dielectric region on the semiconductor body, the first material being made of an organic material and the first material having a decomposition temperature; coating the dielectric region with the dielectric layer, the dielectric layer being made of a second material having a decomposition temperature that is higher than the decomposition temperature of the first material; removing the first material by heating the semiconductor device to a temperature that is above the decomposition temperature of the first material yet below the decomposition temperature of the second material; after removing the first material, etching the dielectric layer to form a strip-shaped recess, that overlaps the dielectric region and extends to the dielectric region; forming the connection region by depositing an electroconductive material in a space obtained by the removal of the first material; and forming the superjacent strip-shaped connection conductor by depositing an electroconductive material in the strip-shaped recess.
