    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for depositing and planarizing a material layer on a substrate. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided which includes a partial enclosure, a permeable disc, a diffuser plate and optionally an anode. A substrate carrier is positionable above the partial enclosure and is adapted to move a substrate into and out of contact or close proximity with the permeable disc. The partial enclosure and the substrate carrier are rotatable to provide relative motion between a substrate and the permeable disc. In another aspect, a method is provided in which a substrate is positioned in a partial enclosure having an electrolyte therein at a first distance from a permeable disc. A current is optionally applied to the surface of the substrate and a first thickness is deposited on the substrate. Next, the substrate is positioned closer to the permeable disc and a second thickness is deposited on the substrate. During the deposition, the partial enclosure and the substrate are rotated relative one another.

    Abstract: Aspects of the invention generally provide a method for polishing a material layer using electrochemical deposition techniques, electrochemical dissolution techniques, polishing techniques, and/or combinations thereof. In one aspect of the invention, the polishing method comprises applying a separate electrical bias, such as a voltage, to each of a plurality of zones of an electrode. Determining the separate biases comprises determining a time that at least one portion of the material layer is associated with each of the zones of the counter-electrode.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for planarizing a surface of a substrate using a chamber separated into two parts by a membrane, and two separate electrolytes is provided. The embodiments of the present invention generally provide an electrochemical mechanical polishing system that reduces the number of defects found on the substrate surface after polishing. An exemplary electrochemical apparatus includes a physical barrier that prevents any trapped gas or gas generated during processing from residing in areas that can cause defects on the substrate. The process can be aided by the addition of various chemical components to the electrolyte that tend to reduce the gas generation at the cathode surface during the ECMP anodic dissolution process.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a process sequence and related hardware for filling a hole with copper. The sequence comprises first forming a reliable barrier layer in the hole to prevent diffusion of the copper into the dielectric layer through which the hole is formed. One sequence comprises forming a generally conformal barrier layer over a patterned dielectric, etching the bottom of the hole, depositing a second barrier, and then filling the hole with copper. An alternative sequence comprises depositing a first barrier layer over a blanket dielectric layer, forming a hole through both the barrier layer and the dielectric layer, depositing a generally conformal second barrier layer in the hole, removing the barrier layer from the bottom of the hole, and selectively filling the hole with copper.
