Abstract

A semiconductor memory device and front-end method of fabricating nickel plated caps over bond pads used in a memory device. The method provides protection of the bond pads from an oxidizing atmosphere without exposing sensitive structures in the memory device to the copper during fabrication. In some examples, the method and device include one or more conductive and insulating layers formed over a substrate, and a plurality of memory cells over the conductive and insulating layers.
