Abstract

In an integrated device, a via is formed in a substrate layer and a barrier layer is formed on the substrate layer in the via. A seed layer is formed on the barrier layer in the via. The seed layer includes a first material and a second material. The first material provides an ability for the second material to maintain an adherence to the barrier layer.
