    摘要: Presented are methods and systems for fabricating three-dimensional integrated circuits having large diameter through-hole vias. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of processing a wafer having holes for through-hole vias. The method comprises plating a gapfill metal on the wafer. The method also comprises chemically or electrochemically deplating a portion of the overburden metal. The method further comprises using chemical mechanical planarization to planarize the gapfill metal and to remove the remaining overburden metal. Another embodiment of the present invention is an integrated system comprising a process chamber for containing the wafer, a plating component integrated with the process chamber, and a deplating component integrated with the process chamber. The plating component is configured to electrochemically plate a gapfill metal onto the wafer to a least partially fill the holes. The deplating component is configured to chemically or to electrochemically remove a portion of the overburden metal formed by the plating component.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and systems for the metallization of semiconductor devices. One aspect of the present invention is a method of depositing a copper layer onto a barrier layer so as to produce a substantially oxygen free interface therebetween. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substantially oxide free surface of the barrier layer. The method also includes depositing an amount of atomic layer deposition (ALD) copper on the oxide free surface of the barrier layer effective to prevent oxidation of the barrier layer. The method further includes depositing a gapfill copper layer over the ALD copper. Another aspect of the present invention is a system for depositing a copper layer onto barrier layer so as to produce a substantially oxygen-free interface therebetween. In one embodiment, the integrated system includes at least one barrier deposition module. The system also includes an ALD copper deposition module configured to deposit copper by atomic layer deposition. The system further includes a copper gapfill module and at least one transfer module coupled to the at least one barrier deposition module and to the ALD copper deposition module. The transfer module is configured so that the substrate can be transferred between the modules substantially without exposure to an oxide-forming environment.
