An electronic device can include a substrate (12) having a primary surface
(14), a second surface (16, 22) opposite the primary surface (14), and an
electrode (50). In one embodiment, the electrode (50) can lie adjacent to
the second surface (22) and include, a barrier layer (54) lying between a
conductive layer (56) and a metal-containing layer (52), wherein the
metal-containing layer (52) includes a first metallic element and not a
second metal element, and the barrier layer (54) includes the second
metal element and not the first metallic element. In another embodiment,
an adhesion layer (52) and a conductive layer (56) can each include a
metallic element, and lie immediately adjacent to a barrier layer (54).
In still another embodiment, a process for forming an electronic device
can include removing a portion of the substrate (12) opposite a primary
surface (14).
