Abstract
An improved method for making an integrated circuit that includes forming a conductive layer on a substrate, then forming a dielectric layer comprising a polymer on the conductive layer. After forming the dielectric layer, a layer of photoresist is patterned to define a region to be etched. An etched region is then formed through the dielectric layer while simultaneously removing the layer of photoresist.
