US Patent 11145513 Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a photoresist defining an opening on an upper surface of a semiconductor wafer; and forming an electrode in the opening using a plating technique, in which the step of forming the electrode includes forming a first plated layer at a first current density such that the first plated layer has a first thickness, and forming a second plated layer on an upper surface of the first plated layer at a second current density higher than the first current density such that the second plated layer has a second thickness greater than the first thickness.
