Abstract:
A chemical solution for an electro chemical plating process includes an electro chemical plating solution; and an additive, added in the electro chemical plating solution, substantially consisting of a polymer with one or more kinds of impurities, wherein each kind of the impurities has a density, with respect to the polymer, lower then 1019 atoms/cc.
Abstract:
A method and system is provided for efficiently varying the composition of the metal interconnects for a semiconductor device. A metal interconnect according to the present disclosure has an intermediate layer on a dielectric material, the intermediate layer having a relatively higher concentration of an impurity metal along with a primary metal, the impurity metal having a lower reduction potential than the primary metal. The metal interconnect has a main layer of the metal alloy interconnect on top of the intermediate layer and surrounded by the intermediate layer, the main layer having a relatively higher concentration of the primary metal than the intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate and main layers of the metal alloy interconnect each maintains a material uniformity.
