Appeal No. 1998-2046 Application No. 08/787,332 second electrode layers 11 and 13 respectively. Organic insulation film 17 is formed above first electrode 11, on the surface of film 15. An interconnection layer 19 (third electrode) is formed over film 17 (and first electrode 11), and also makes contact with second electrode 13 via through hole 15a. The thickness of the insulating material at T10 ensures a high breakdown voltage between electrodes 11 and 19, while the narrower thickness of insulating material at T20 allows a low aspect ratio at hole 15a, allowing adequate fill by sputtering. Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows: 1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate having a main surface; a first conductive layer extending entirely above the main surface of the semiconductor substrate; a second conductive layer extending entirely above the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, which second conductive layer is different from said first conductive layer, said first and second conductive layers being structurally situated at the same level with respect to the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein said second conductive layer comprises a 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
