Power MOSFET contact metallization

1. A method of fabricating a structure, said method comprising:

depositing a barrier layer, wherein said barrier layer is deposited over and in contact with all surfaces of an insulator except for a second surface of said insulator that is in contact with a first surface of a substrate having a semiconductor device formed therein, wherein said barrier layer is also deposited over and in contact with said substrate in a contact area between said insulator and an adjacent insulator;

depositing a first metallized layer over said barrier layer; and

etching said first metallized layer to form an electrical contact in said contact area, wherein a substantially even surface is formed by combining a surface of said barrier layer and a surface of said electrical contact, wherein said barrier layer is between and in contact with said substrate and said electrical contact, and said semiconductor device is adjacent to and underneath said insulator and entirely isolated physically from said electrical contact and from said barrier layer by said insulator, said semiconductor device electrically coupled to said electrical contact.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said first metallized layer comprises tungsten.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said first metallized layer is deposited using chemical vapor deposition.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said semiconductor device comprises a power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

depositing a second metallized layer subsequent to said etching; and

etching said second metallized layer to form an electrical connector coupled to said electrical contact.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein said second metallized layer comprises aluminum.
