    摘要: Methods of controlling deposition of metal on field regions of a substrate in an electroplating process are provided. In one aspect, a dielectric layer is deposited under plasma on the field region of a patterned substrate, leaving a conductive surface exposed in the openings. Electroplating on the field region is reduced or eliminated, resulting in void-free features and minimal excess plating. In another aspect, a resistive layer, which may be a metal, is used in place of the dielectric. In a further aspect, the surface of the conductive field region is modified to change its chemical potential relative to the sidewalls and bottoms of the openings.

    摘要: A two-step method of filling copper into a high-aspect ratio via or dual-damascene structure. The first step sputters at a low temperature of no more than 100° C. and with at least portions of high wafer bias, thereby filling a lower half of the hole. The initial copper sputtering is preferably performed through multiple cycles of low-level and high-level pedestal bias to deposit copper on exposed corners and to sputter resulting overhangs from the corners while depositing deep in the hole. The second step may include either electrochemical plating or sputtering performed at a higher temperature, e.g., at least 200° C. and with lower wafer bias to complete the hole filling. In another aspect of the invention, diffusion promoting gas such as hydrogen is added to the copper sputter plasma.

    摘要: A method of filling copper into a high-aspect ratio via by a plasma sputter process and allowing the elimination of electrochemical plating. In one aspect of the invention, the sputtering is divided into a first step performed at a low temperature of no more than 100° C. and with at least portions of high wafer bias, thereby filling a lower half of the hole, and a second step performed at a higher temperature, e.g., at least 200° C. and with at least portions of low wafer bias to complete the hole filling. In another aspect of the invention, diffusion promoting gas such as hydrogen is added to the copper sputter plasma. In still another aspect, copper sputtering, even in the final fill phase, is performed through multiple cycles of low-level and high-level pedestal bias to deposit copper on exposed corners and to sputter from the corners.

    摘要: A diagnostic system for a hybrid vehicle comprises a motor control module and a fault diagnostic module. The motor control module controls torque output of an electric motor having a predetermined number of phases. The fault diagnostic module determines a position of a rotor of the electric motor, aligns the rotor with a phase angle of one of the phases, selectively diagnoses a fault based on a current of at least one of the phases, and selectively disables the electric motor based on the diagnosis.

    摘要: A method of processing a resolver fault in a motor generator unit (MGU) includes receiving a position signal from a resolver describing a measured angular position of a rotor of the MGU, determining the presence of the resolver fault using the position signal, and calculating or extrapolating an estimated rotor position when the resolver fault is determined. A predetermined resolver fault state may be determined using a measured duration of the resolver fault, and the MGU may be controlled using the estimated rotor position for at least a portion of the duration of the resolver fault. A motor control circuit is operable for processing the resolver fault using the above method, and may automatically vary a torque output or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) of the MGU depending on the duration of the resolver fault.

    摘要: A method of depositing a bilayer of tungsten over tungsten nitride by a plasma sputtering process in which krypton is used as the sputter working gas during the tungsten deposition. Argon may be used as the sputtering working gas during the reactive sputtering deposition of tungsten nitride. The beneficial effect of reduction of tungsten resistivity is increased when the thickness of the tungsten layer is less than 50 nm and further increased when less than 35 nm. The method may be used in forming a gate stack including a polysilicon layer over a gate oxide layer over a silicon gate region of a MOS transistor in which the tungsten nitride acts as a barrier. A plasma sputter chamber in which the invention may be practiced includes gas sources of krypton, argon, and nitrogen.
