    摘要: An apparatus and a method of depositing a catalytic layer comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of noble metals, semi-noble metals, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof in sub-micron features formed on a substrate. Examples of noble metals include palladium and platinum. Examples of semi-noble metals include cobalt, nickel, and tungsten. The catalytic layer may be deposited by electroless deposition, electroplating, or chemical vapor deposition. In one embodiment, the catalytic layer may be deposited in the feature to act as a barrier layer to a subsequently deposited conductive material. In another embodiment, the catalytic layer may be deposited over a barrier layer. In yet another embodiment, the catalytic layer may be deposited over a seed layer deposited over the barrier layer to act as a “patch” of any discontinuities in the seed layer. Once the catalytic layer has been deposited, a conductive material, such as copper, may be deposited over the catalytic layer. In one embodiment, the conductive material is deposited over the catalytic layer by electroless deposition. In another embodiment, the conductive material is deposited over the catalytic layer by electroless deposition followed by electroplating or followed by chemical vapor deposition. In still another embodiment, the conductive material is deposited over the catalytic layer by electroplating or by chemical vapor deposition.

    摘要: A non-contact apparatus and method for removing a metal layer from a substrate are provided. The apparatus includes a rotatable anode substrate support member configured to support a substrate in a face-up position and to electrically contact the substrate positioned thereon. A pivotally mounted cathode fluid dispensing nozzle assembly positioned above the anode substrate support member is also provided. A power supply in electrical communication with the anode substrate support member and the cathode fluid dispensing nozzle is provided, and a system controller configured to regulate at least one of a rate of rotation of the anode substrate support member, a radial position of the cathode fluid dispensing nozzle, and an output power of the power supply is provided. The method provides for the removal of a metal layer from a substrate by rotating the substrate in a face up position on a rotatable substrate support member. A cathode fluid dispensing nozzle is positioned over a central portion of the substrate and a metal removing solution is dispensed from the cathode fluid dispensing nozzle onto the central portion of the substrate. An electrical bias is applied between the substrate and the cathode fluid dispensing nozzle, which operates to deplate the metal layer below the fluid dispensing nozzle.
