Abstract

A process for manufacturing bonding pad adapted for use with an aluminum wire that resists stresses that would otherwise peel the pad from the substrate. The pad has a polysilicon layer adhered to an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, a overlying refractory metal polycide layer, a second polysilicon layer, a refractory metal layer, and a thick aluminum alloy bonding pad.
