摘要: Plating accelerator is applied selectively to a substantially-unfilled wide (e.g., low-aspect-ratio feature cavity. Then, plating of metal is conducted to fill the wide feature cavity and to form an embossed structure in which the height of a wide-feature metal protrusion over the metal-filled wide-feature cavity is higher than the height of metal over field regions. Most of the overburden metal is removed using non-contact techniques, such as chemical wet etching. Metal above the wide feature cavity protects the metal-filled wide-feature interconnect against dishing, and improved planarization techniques avoid erosion of the metal interconnect and dielectric insulating layer. In some embodiments, plating of metal onto a substrate is conducted to fill narrow (e.g., high-aspect-ratio feature cavities) in the dielectric layer before selective application of plating accelerator and filling of the wide feature cavity.

摘要: A main reservoir holds cool reactant liquid. A reaction vessel for treating a substrate is connected to the main reservoir by a feed conduit. A heater is configured to heat reactant liquid in the feed conduit before the liquid enters the reaction vessel. Preferably, the heater is a microwave heater. A recycle conduit connects the reaction vessel with the main reservoir. Preferably, a recycle cooler cools reactant liquid in the recycle conduit before the liquid returns to the main reservoir. Preferably, an accumulation vessel is integrated in the feed conduit for accumulating, heating, conditioning and monitoring reactant liquid before it enters the reaction vessel. Preferably, a recycle accumulator vessel is integrated in the recycle conduit to accommodate reactant liquid as it empties out of the reaction vessel.

摘要: During fluid treatment of a substrate surface, a carrier/wafer assembly containing a substrate wafer closes the top of a microcell container. The carrier/wafer assembly and the container walls define a thin enclosed treatment volume that is filled with treating fluid, such as electroless plating solution. The thin fluid-treatment volume typically has a volume in a range of about from 100 ml to 500 ml. Preferably a container is heated and the treating fluid is pre-heated before being injected into the container. Preferably, the chemical composition, temperature, and other properties of fluid in the thin enclosed fluid-treatment volume are dynamically variable. A rinse shield and a rinse nozzle are located above the container. A carrier/wafer assembly in a rinse position substantially closes the top of the rinse shield.
