    摘要: An apparatus is provided for depositing and polishing a material layer on a substrate. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided which includes a basin, a cover, a permeable disc, an anode and a polishing head. The permeable disc is disposed in the basin between the cover and the basin's bottom. The cover has an aperture disposed therein that includes a plurality of pins. The pins extend radially into the aperture and are adapted to support the substrate. The anode is disposed in the basin between the disc and the bottom of the basin. The polishing head is adapted to retain the substrate during processing and includes a retaining ring. The retaining ring has a plurality of grooves disposed therein that mate with the pins when the polishing head is disposed in the aperture. When the substrate is biased via the pins, the potential between the substrate and the anode causes material to be deposited on the substrate's surface.

    摘要: The invention relates generally to a composition and a method for selective removal of a barrier layer in chemical mechanical polishing. In one aspect, the composition for selective removal of a barrier layer includes at least one reducing agent, ions from at least one transitional metal, and water. The composition may further include at least one buffer for pH stability, at least one pH adjusting agent for providing an initial pH, a corrosion inhibitor, abrasive particles, and/or a metal chelating agent. In another embodiment, the invention relates generally to a composition and a method for removal of a conductive material layer and a barrier layer in chemical mechanical polishing. In one aspect, the method for removal of a conductive material layer and a barrier layer includes applying a conductive-material-layer-selective composition to a polishing pad, polishing the substrate in presence of the conductive-material-layer-selective composition, applying a barrier-layer-selective composition to a polishing pad, and polishing the substrate in presence of the barrier-layer-selective composition.

    摘要: A method for performing electrochemical-mechanical planarization (EMP) of a workpiece surface including a pattern of electrical conductors comprises supplying a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP)-type apparatus having an abrasive or non-abrasive polishing pad with an oxidizer-free, electrolytically conductive, abrasive or non-abrasive fluid and applying a time-varying anodic potential to the workpiece surface for controllably dissolving the material, e.g., metal, of the electrical conductors while simultaneously applying mechanical polishing action to the surface. The method advantageously reduces or substantially eliminates undesirable dishing characteristic of conventional CMP planarization processing utilizing chemical oxidizer agent(s). Apparatus for performing EMP are also disclosed.
