Abstract

A semiconductor die, which includes a substrate, a group of primary conduction sub-layers, and a group of separation sub-layers, is disclosed. The group of primary conduction sub-layers is over the substrate. Each adjacent pair of the group of primary conduction sub-layers is separated by at least one of the group of separation sub-layers. As a result, the group of separation sub-layers mitigates grain growth in the group of primary conduction sub-layers.
