Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the electroplating deposition of a metal onto a semiconductor wafer surface (29), including vibrationally scrubbing the wafer surface (29) during an electroplating process. At least one transducer (32) is mounted to a wall (33) of an electroplating tool chamber (22). The transducer (32) intermittently delivers sonic energy pulses lasting for one to two seconds to the electroplating solution during the electroplating process.
