    摘要: Methods and systems for electrochemically processing microfeature workpieces are described herein. In one embodiment, a process for electrochemically treating a surface of a plurality of microfeature workpieces in an electrochemical treating chamber that includes a processing unit separated from an electrode unit by an ion-permeable barrier is described. The process involves an idle stage wherein during the idle stage, processing fluid components are prevented from transferring between the first processing fluid and the second processing fluid. The described system includes a flow control system for controlling the flow of processing fluid to achieve separation of a processing fluid from the barrier during the idle stage.

    摘要: Processes and systems for electrolytically processing a microfeature workpiece with a first processing fluid and an anode are described. Microfeature workpieces are electrolytically processed using a first processing fluid, an anode, a second processing fluid, and a cation permeable barrier layer. The cation permeable barrier layer separates the first processing fluid from the second processing fluid while allowing certain cationic species to transfer between the two fluids. The described processes produce deposits over repeated plating cycles that exhibit deposit properties (e.g., resistivity) within desired ranges.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for thermally controlled processing of microelectronic workpieces with liquids. An apparatus in accordance with and embodiment of the invention includes a process vessel configured to carry a processing liquid, such as an electroless processing liquid. The vessel has a thermally transmissive wall for transferring heat to and/or from the processing liquid within. A heat transfer device, such as a reservoir that receives processing liquid spilling over from the process vessel, transfers heat to or from the processing liquid within the process vessel. The heat transfer device can also transfer heat to or from an internal or external heat source, such as a conduit carrying a heat transfer fluid, or an electrical resistance heater. The interaction between the microelectronic workpiece and the processing liquid can be further controlled by controlling the rate at which the microelectronic workpiece rotates and/or the manner in which the microelectronic workpiece is introduced to and/or withdrawn from the processing liquid.
