Abstract
An improved method of fabricating airbridge metal interconnects uses two photoresist layers having different solubility characteristics. This allows for the removal of one resist without affecting the other. Thus, the underlying semiconductor structure is protected from subsequent etches of the ground plane metal. Consequently, a greater process latitude allows for obtaining higher device yields in fabricating high frequency semiconductor devices employing airbridge metal interconnects.
