    摘要: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for reducing within die thickness variations by modifying the concentration of components of a low-acid electroplating solution. For one embodiment, the leveler concentration is increased sufficiently to reduce within die thickness variations to a specified value. For one embodiment of the invention, the leveler and suppressor are increased to reduce within die thickness variations and substantially reduce a plurality of electroplating defects. In such an embodiment the combined concentration of leveler and suppressor is determined to maintain adequate gap fill.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a first layer having at least one interconnect formed in an interlayer dielectric (ILD), a second layer formed over the first layer having a second at least one interconnect, a third layer formed over the second layer, the third layer defining at least one air gap between the second at least one interconnect and the third layer, and at least one shunt selectively covering the first and second at least one interconnects. In another embodiment, a method comprises forming a first layer comprising an ILD and a first at least one interconnect, forming a second layer over the first layer, the second layer having a second at least one interconnect, depositing at least one shunt over the first and second at least one interconnects, forming a third layer over the second layer, and evaporating a portion of the second layer to create at least one air gap between the second at least one interconnect and the third layer.

    摘要: An electroplating process for filling damascene structures on substrates, such as wafers having partially fabricated integrated circuits thereon, includes immersing a substrate, under bias, into a copper plating solution to eliminate thin seed layer dissolution and reduce copper oxide, an initiation step to repair discontinuities in a copper seed layer, superfill plating to fill the smallest features, reverse plating to remove the adsorbed plating additives and their by-products from the substrate, a second superfill plating to fill intermediate size features, a second reverse plating to remove adsorbed plating additives and their by-products from the substrate, and a bulk fill plating with high current density to fill large features. The superfill and reverse plating operations may be repeated more than twice prior to bulk filling in order to provide the desired surface morphology.
