Abstract

According to one embodiment, a wiring fabrication method includes pressing a first template including a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion provided at a bottom of the first recessed portion against a first film to form a first pattern including a first raised portion, corresponding to the first recessed portion, and a second raised portion, corresponding to the second recessed portion. The second raised portion protrudes from the first raised portion once formed. After forming the first pattern, a first wiring, corresponding to the first raised portion, and a via, corresponding to the second raised portion, is formed using the first pattern.

Claims (33)

1. A wiring fabrication method, comprising:

pressing a first template, which includes a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion at a bottom of the first recessed portion, against a first film to form a first pattern including a first raised portion, corresponding to the first recessed portion, and a second raised portion, corresponding to the second recessed portion, the second raised portion protruding from the first raised portion;

forming a first wiring, corresponding to the first raised portion, and a via, corresponding to the second raised portion, the via protruding from the first wiring; and

forming a second wiring contacting the via, the via extending between the first wiring and the second wiring, wherein

forming the second wiring comprises:

forming a second conductive material film contacting the via;

forming a second film on the second conductive material film;

forming a second pattern in the second film; and

etching the second conductive material film using the second pattern as a mask to form the second wiring contacting the via.

2. The wiring fabrication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first pattern is formed on a first conductive material film, and

the first wiring and the via are formed by etching the first conductive material film using the first pattern as a mask.

3. The wiring fabrication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first film is formed from a photocurable organic material, and

the wiring fabrication method further comprises:

forming a first insulating film to cover the first pattern;

removing portions of the first insulating film to expose a surface of the second raised portion of the first pattern;

removing the first pattern from the first insulating film to form a cavity with the shape of the first pattern in the first insulating film; and

filling the cavity with a conductive material to form the first wiring and the via.

4. The wiring fabrication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first film is formed from a photocurable organic material, and

the wiring fabrication method further comprises:

infiltrating the first pattern with a metal to form the first wiring and the via.

5. The wiring fabrication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first film is formed from a photocurable organic material, and

the wiring fabrication method further comprises:

forming a first insulating film covering the first pattern;

exposing an upper surface of the second raised portion of the first pattern by removing portions of the first insulating film; and

infiltrating the first pattern with a metal from the exposed upper surface of the second raised portion to form the first wiring and the via.

6. The wiring fabrication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first film is a conductive material, and

the first wiring and the via are formed of the conductive material.

7. The wiring fabrication method according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive material is a conductive polymer or a liquid dispersion of metallic particles.
