Abstract
For filling via holes that extend onto interconnects to be contacted in a semiconductor layer structure, the interconnects are connected to a conductive layer through auxiliary via holes. The via holes are filled with metal by electro-deposition, whereby the interconnects are wired as a cooperating electrode in an electrolyte via an auxiliary contact to the conductive layer. Subsequently, the conductive layer is removed.
