Abstract

See full text

A method for fabricating custom integrated circuits includes the steps of 1) patterning a photoresist layer on an insulative layer with a standard via precision mask to define all possible vias, and 2) using a targeting energy beam to select the desired via locations on a second photoresist layer, which are then etched and interconnections made, for customization or repair of the integrated circuit. Consequently, the present invention requires no custom mask so that application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) can be produced with lower lead-time and costs when compared to prior methods.
