Abstract

A method of manufacturing an interconnect. A first conductive layer is formed on the wafer. Portions of the first conductive layer are removed to form a wire in the interior region and to expose the surface of the wafer in the edge region, simultaneously. An insulating layer is formed on the wire and the wafer. An opening is formed to penetrate through the insulating layer and exposes the wire. A second conductive layer is formed on the insulating layer and fills the opening.
