Abstract

A method of producing metal patterns on silicon wafers prior to a thermomigration process, including covering the surface of a wafer completely with a metal film, producing a photoresist pattern on portions of the metal film corresponding to a predetermined thermomigration pattern, etching away the uncovered portions of the metal film, removing the photoresist film, and annealing the remaining metal film pattern.
