Patent ID: 8592983

Claim:
A method of integrating a plurality of benzocyclobutene (BCB) layers with a substrate, the method comprising: forming a first BCB layer on the substrate, wherein the first BCB layer defines a plurality of vias therethrough to expose an underlying structure; depositing a first metal layer on the first BCB layer and within the plurality of vias defined by the first BCB layer, wherein the first metal layer includes leg portions extending through a pair of vias to directly connect to the underlying structure and a connector portion extending between the leg portions and continuously across the first BCB layer; forming a second BCB layer on the first metal layer that fills the vias defined by the first BCB layer and directly connects to the underlying structure exposed by the vias defined by the first BCB layer, wherein the second BCB layer defines a plurality of vias therethrough; and depositing a second metal layer on the second BCB layer and within the plurality of vias defined by the second BCB layer such that the second metal layer extends through the vias defined by the second BCB layer to establish an operable connection with the first metal layer, wherein the first and second metal layers are independent of an electrical connection to any transistor carried by the substrate.
