Methods of forming a contact pad include forming a copper pattern on a semiconductor substrate and forming a passivation layer on the copper pattern. The passivation layer is defined to have an opening therein that exposes at least a portion of an upper surface of the copper pattern. A diffusion barrier layer is formed in the opening by electroless plating the diffusion barrier layer onto the exposed portion of the upper surface of the copper pattern. This diffusion barrier layer operates as a barrier to copper out-diffusion from the copper pattern. These methods further include conformally depositing an underbump metallization layer onto at least a sidewall of the opening in the passivation layer and onto an upper surface of the diffusion barrier layer. A step is then performed to plate a contact bump (e.g., solder bump) onto a portion of the underbump metallization layer extending opposite the diffusion barrier layer.

Methods of forming electrical interconnects include forming a copper pattern on a semiconductor substrate and then forming an electrically insulating capping layer on the copper pattern and an interlayer insulating layer on the electrically insulating capping layer. A contact hole is then formed, which extends through the interlayer insulating layer and the electrically insulating capping layer and exposes an upper surface of the copper pattern. An electroless plating step is then performed to form a copper pattern extension onto the exposed upper surface of the copper pattern. The copper pattern extension may have a thickness that is less than a thickness of the electrically insulating capping layer, which may be formed as a SiCN layer.

A polymer/ceramic composite paste for an embedded capacitor includes an organic solvent, a ceramic powder having a particle diameter of not more than 20 μm dispersed in the organic solvent, a polymer and a hardener. The use of the polymer/ceramic composite paste enables the formation of a dielectric layer having a high dielectric constant. The polymer/ceramic composite paste can be applied by a screen printing technique and is planarized to locally form a polymer/ceramic composite dielectric layer having a thickness of, e.g., up to 20 μm on a desired region. Accordingly, electrical parasitics resulting from the formation of a capacitor on unwanted regions can be reduced, and the capacitance error can be reduced.
