A method for filling recessed micro-structures at a surface of a semiconductor wafer with metallization is set forth. In accordance with the method, a metal layer is deposited into the micro-structures with a process, such as an electroplating process, that generates metal grains that are sufficiently small so as to substantially fill the recessed micro-structures. The deposited metal is subsequently subjected to an annealing process at a temperature below about 100 degrees Celsius, and may even take place at ambient room temperature to allow grain growth which provides optimal electrical properties.

This present invention relates to an electric testing assistance tool in the form a wire nut or electrical connector. The tool is a funnel shaped flame resistant and insulating device and has a top end and a bottom end with curved walls. The top end includes a central hole to receive a testing probe of a tester device. The device has an internal metal spiral thread connected to a metal ball connector. The metal spiral thread twistable about a plurality of wire end leads. The leads extending from the bottom end opening are connected to a target wiring whose electrical parameters and continuity is to be measured using the electric testing assistance tool. The testing probe can be inserted through the central hole to contact the metal ball to measure the electric parameters and continuity of the target wiring.

Methods and apparatuses for in-situ cleaning of semiconductor electroplating electrodes to remove plating metal without requiring the manual removal of the electrodes from the semiconductor plating equipment. The electrode is placed into the plating liquid and an electrical current having reverse polarity is passed between the electrode and plating liquid. Plating deposits which have accumulated on the electrode are electrochemically dissolved and removed from the electrode.

The present invention is directed to a process for producing structures containing metallized features for use in microelectronic workpieces. The process treats a barrier layer to promote the adhesion between the barrier layer and the metallized feature. Suitable means for promoting adhesion between barrier layers and metallized features according to the invention include an acid treatment of the barrier layer, an electrolytic treatment of the barrier layer, or deposition of a bonding layer between the barrier layer and metallized feature. The present invention thus modifies an exterior surface of a barrier layer making it more suitable for electrodeposition of metal on a barrier, thus eliminating the need for a PVD or CVD seed layer deposition process.

A semiconductor workpiece holder used in electroplating systems for plating metal layers onto a semiconductor workpieces, and is of particular advantage in connection with plating copper onto semiconductor materials. The workpiece holder includes electrode assemblies which have a contact part which connects to a distal end of an electrode shaft and bears against the workpiece and conducts current therebetween. The contact part is preferably made from a corrosion resistant material, such as platinum. The electrode assembly also preferably includes a dielectric layer which covers the distal end of the electrode shaft and seals against the contact part to prevent plating liquid from corroding the joint between these parts.
