  • Patent number: 6174803
    Abstract: The present invention relates to multilevel integrated circuit interconnection techniques. An integrated circuit having a number of electronic components along a semiconductor substrate and a first connection layer having a first number of conductors in selective electrical contact with the components is provided. A first insulative layer is formed on the first connection layer with a first pattern of openings therethrough. A second connection layer is established that has a second number of conductors selectively interconnected to the first conductors through the first pattern of openings. A second insulative layer is formed on the first connection layer with a second pattern of openings therethrough. A third connection layer is formed on the second insulative layer having a third dielectric and a third number of conductors selectively interconnecting the second conductors.
