Abstract

In a method for processing conductive layer structures in a four metal layer CMOS process, the step of depositing the third conductive layer (30) includes at least one succession of depositions of a light-absorbing layer (301;303) on top of a light-reflective layer (300;302), such that the total thickness of said third conductive layer (30) does not exceed 350 nm. Devices including these conductive layer structures, such as reflective type liquid crystal display devices as well as metal capacitor structures which are processed using the subject method are as well described.
