Abstract

A method for forming electrical interconnections in an integrated circuit which involves forming an insulating layer on the silicon chip on the lower of two conductive layers to be interconnected, opening a window in the insulating layer, filling the window with a metallic plug by a lift-off technique, and then forming an interconnection pattern extending over the layer and contacting the plug.
