    Abstract: The structures and methods described above provide mechanisms to improve interconnect reliability and resistivity. The interconnect reliability and resistivity are improved by using a composite barrier layer, which provides good step coverage, good copper diffusion barrier, and good adhesion with adjacent layers. The composite barrier layer includes an ALD barrier layer to provide good step coverage. The composite barrier layer also includes a barrier-adhesion-enhancing film, which contains at least an element or compound that contains Mn, Cr, V, Ti, or Nb to improve adhesion. The composite barrier layer may also include a Ta or Ti layer between the ALD barrier layer and the barrier-adhesion-enhancing layer.

    Abstract: A method of electroplating conductive material on semiconductor wafers controls undesirable surface defects by reducing the electroplating current as the wafer is being initially immersed in a plating bath. Further defect reduction and improved bottom up plating of vias is achieved by applying a static charge on the wafer before it is immersed in the bath, in order to enhance bath accelerators used to control the plating rate. The static charge is applied to the wafer using a supplemental electrode disposed outside the plating bath.
