摘要： A method of electrochemical deposition (ECD) provides a barrier and a seed layer on a substrate. The surfaces of the substrate are pre-treated before a metal layer is electrochemically deposited thereon in an electrochemical plating cell with a physical or a chemical surface treatment process. The electrochemical plating cell is covered by a cap to prevent evaporation of the electrolyte solution. The electrochemical plating cell includes a substrate holder assembly with a lift seal, e.g., with a contact angle θ less than 90° between the lift seal and the substrate. The substrate holder assembly includes a substrate chuck at the rear side of the substrate.

摘要： Narrow trenches in a substrate tend to fill more rapidly than wide trenches This results in a non-planar surface once all trenches have been filled. The present invention solves this problem by performing the electro-deposition in two steps. The plating bath used during the first step, is optimized for filling narrow trenches while the plating bath used during the second step, is optimized for filling wide trenches. The net result is a final layer having a planar surface, with all trenches being properly filled.
