    摘要: Embodiments as described herein provide methods for depositing a material on a substrate during electroless deposition processes, as well as compositions of the electroless deposition solutions. In one embodiment, the substrate contains a contact aperture having an exposed silicon contact surface. In another embodiment, the substrate contains a contact aperture having an exposed silicide contact surface. The apertures are filled with a metal contact material by exposing the substrate to an electroless deposition process. The metal contact material may contain a cobalt material, a nickel material, or alloys thereof. Prior to filling the apertures, the substrate may be exposed to a variety of pretreatment processes, such as preclean processes and activations processes. A preclean process may remove organic residues, native oxides, and other contaminants during a wet clean process or a plasma etch process. Embodiments of the process also provide the deposition of additional layers, such as a capping layer.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for feedback controlled polishing. A computer program product for generating feedback for chemical mechanical polishing. The product includes instructions operable to cause a processor to receive monitoring information during a current polishing cycle in which a first polishing process is performed on a substrate that includes a metal layer. The first polishing process clears the metal layer from the substrate during the current polishing cycle. The product includes instructions to calculate a representation of a clearing profile of the first polishing process. The calculation is based on the monitoring information received during the current polishing cycle. The product includes instructions to detect non-uniformity in the representation. The product includes instructions to generate, from the non-uniformity detected, feedback information for improving the uniformity of a clearing profile of the first polishing process for a subsequent polishing cycle.

    摘要: A method for measuring the concentration of the metal solution and reducing agent solution within the electroless plating solution is disclosed. Raman spectroscopy is used to measure the concentration of each solution within the electroless plating solution after they have been mixed together. By measuring the concentration of each solution prior to providing the solution to a plating cell, the concentration of the individual solutions can be adjusted so that the targeted concentration of each solution is achieved. Additionally, each solution can be individually analyzed using Raman spectroscopy prior to mixing with the other solutions. Based upon the Raman spectroscopy measurements of the individual solutions prior to mixing, the individual components that make up each solution can be adjusted prior to mixing so that the targeted component concentration can be achieved.
