Abstract
A method of depositing a metal material on an isolated seed layer uses a barrier layer as a conductive path for plating. The method may include depositing a barrier layer on a substrate wherein the barrier layer provides adhesion for seed layer material and inhibits migration of the seed layer material, forming at least one isolated seed layer area on the barrier layer on the substrate, and depositing the metal material on the at least one isolated seed layer area using an electrochemical deposition process wherein the barrier layer provides a current path to deposit the metal material on the at least one isolated seed layer area.
