| 1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a substrate;
a first dielectric layer over the substrate, the first dielectric layer having an opening on a first upper surface;
a copper-based metallic layer filling said opening of said first dielectric layer;
a first conductive polymer layer completely covering and in contact with the upper surface of said copper-based metallic layer,
the first conductive polymer layer having a second upper surface located further from the substrate than the first upper surface;
and
a second dielectric layer over both the first dielectric layer and the first conductive polymer layer and in physical contact
with at least a portion of the first dielectric layer.
