Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000371

A small, electrically conductive opening or via formed in an insulating layer on a semiconductor device, providing an electrical connection between an underlying active region or polysilicon line and an overlying metal interconnect layer. These features are typically filled with a conductive material like tungsten or copper. The size and resistance of contacts significantly influence device performance and reliability.
