    摘要: An electropolish process may remove a conductive film from a semiconductor wafer. An electropolish apparatus having a pad over a platen may make surface-to-surface electrical contact with the conductive film of the wafer across the entire surface of the pad and the conductive film on the wafer. An electric field may be applied through openings in the pad and electrodes which receive potential by feedthroughs that extend through the platen to those electrodes. The electrodes in the feedthroughs may be electrically isolated from the pad and the platen. As a result, more uniform application of electrical potential across the surface to be polished may be achieved in some embodiments.

    摘要: The present invention describes a method of forming an interconnect structure. An insulating layer is formed, and then an opening is formed in the insulating layer. Next, a conductive layer is formed over the insulating layer and in the opening. A polishing stop layer is then formed over the conductive layer. The polishing stop layer and the conductive layer are then polished; however, the polishing stop layer is polished at a slower rate than the conductive layer.
