Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an electrode structure which includes: a base substrate; a seed layer provided on one or both surfaces of the base substrate; an electroplating layer provided on the seed layer; and barriers discontinuously provided between the seed layer and the electroplating layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrode structure comprising: a base substrate; a seed layer provided on one or both surfaces of the base substrate; an electroplating layer provided on the seed layer; and barriers discontinuously provided between the seed layer and the electroplating layer. 2. The electrode structure according to claim 1 , wherein the barriers are distributed in an island shape. 3. The electrode structure according to claim 1 , wherein the barriers have a higher etch resistance to a plating solution than the seed layer. 4. The electrode structure according to claim 1 , wherein the seed layer is made of Cu or Cu alloys, and the barriers are made of Ti, Cr, Ta, or alloys thereof. 5. The electrode structure according to claim 1 , further comprising: a bonding layer provided between the base substrate and the seed layer. 6. The electrode structure according to claim 5 , wherein the bonding layer is made of the same metal material as the barriers.
