Patent abstract
A hillock-free conductive layer comprising at least two aluminum (Al) layers formed on a substrate, wherein said at least two Al layers comprise a barrier Al layer formed on the substrate, and a pure Al layer formed on the barrier Al layer. The barrier Al layer could be an aluminum nitride (AlNx) layer, an aluminum oxide (AlOx) layer, an aluminum oxide-nitride (AlOxNy) layer, or an Al—Nd alloy layer. Also, the pure Al layer is physically thicker than the barrier Al layer, for effectively inhibiting the occurrence of hillocks and the like.
