  • Low resistance T-shaped ridge structure
    Patent number: 7319076
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide a low resistance interconnect. A void is defined in the sacrificial layer that is proximate to an active layer. An overgrowth layer is formed in the void and over portions of the sacrificial layer adjacent to the void. A ridge section is defined in the overgrowth layer and portions of the sacrificial layer are removed to define a shank section in the overgrowth layer under the ridge section.
