    摘要: Selectively accelerated or selectively inhibited metal deposition is performed to form metal structures of an electronic device. A desired pattern of an accelerator or of an inhibitor is applied to the substrate; for example, by stamping the substrate with a patterned stamp or spraying a solution using an inkjet printer. In other embodiments, a global layer of accelerator or inhibitor is applied to a substrate and selectively modified in a desired pattern. Thereafter, selective metal deposition is performed.

    摘要: Pad-assisted electropolishing of the substrate is conducted by performing anodic dissolution of metal at a first portion of the substrate and simultaneously mechanically buffing a second portion of the substrate with a buffing pad. Anodic dissolution includes forming a thin liquid layer of electropolishing liquid between the anodic substrate and a cathodic electropolishing head. The location of electrical contacts between the substrate and power supply allow peripheral edge regions of the substrate to be mechanically buffed with the pad. Preferably, a substrate is further planararized using an isotropic material-removal technique. An apparatus includes an electropolishing head that is movable to a position proximate to a first portion of a substrate to form a thin gap, and a buffing pad that mechanically buffs a second portion of the substrate using minimal pressure.

    摘要: To make a metal feature, a non-plateable layer is applied to a workpiece surface and then patterned to form a first plating region and a first non-plating region. Then, metal is deposited on the workpiece to form a raised field region in said first plating region and a recessed region in said first non-plating region. Then, an accelerator film is applied globally on the workpiece. A portion of the accelerator film is selectively removed from the field region, and another portion of the accelerator film remains in the recessed acceleration region. Then, metal is deposited onto the workpiece, and the metal deposits at an accelerated rate in the acceleration region, resulting in a greater thickness of metal in the acceleration region compared to metal in the non-activated field region. Then, metal is completely removed from the field region, thereby forming the metal feature.

    摘要: An accelerator solution is globally applied to a workpiece to form an accelerator film, and then a portion of the accelerator film is selectively removed from the workpiece to form an acceleration region having a higher concentration of accelerator. The higher concentration of accelerator causes metal to deposit at a faster rate in the acceleration region than in a non-accelerated region for the duration of metal deposition. To make a metal feature, a resist layer is applied to a workpiece surface and patterned to form a recessed region and a field region. Then, a metal seed layer is deposited on the workpiece surface. An accelerator solution is applied so that an accelerator film forms on the metal seed layer. A portion of the accelerator film is selectively removed from the field region, leaving another portion of the accelerator film in the recessed region. Then, copper is electroplated onto the workpiece, and the copper plates at an accelerated rate in the recessed region, resulting in a greater thickness of copper in the recessed region compared to copper in the field region. A wet etch is performed to remove copper from the field region. Then, the resist is removed from the field region, resulting in a coarse copper wire.
