    摘要: A layer of carbon (e.g., graphite or graphene) at a metal interface (e.g., between an MEOL interconnect and a gate contact or a source or drain region contact, between an MEOL contact plug and a BEOL metallization layer, and/or between BEOL conductive structures) is used to reduce contact resistance at the metal interface, which increases electrical performance of an electronic device. Additionally, in some implementations, the layer of carbon may help prevent heat transfer from a second metal to a first metal when the second metal is deposited over the first metal. This results in more symmetric deposition of the second metal, which reduces surface roughness and contact resistance at the metal interface. As an alternative, in some implementations, the layer of carbon is etched before deposition of the second metal in order to reduce contact resistance at the metal interface.

    摘要: A wafer polishing system including a platen configured to rotate in a first direction, and a polishing head configured to hold a wafer, the polishing head configured to rotate in a second direction. The wafer polishing system further includes an optical sensing system configured to detect a thickness of the wafer at a first location on the platen and a second location on the platen. A first distance from a center of the platen to the first location is different than a second distance from the center of the platen to the second location.

    摘要: A method of planarizing a wafer includes pressing the wafer against a planarization pad. The method further includes moving the planarization pad relative to the wafer. The method further includes conditioning the planarization pad using a pad conditioner. Conditioning the planarization pad includes moving the planarization pad relative to the pad conditioner. The pad conditioner includes abrasive particles having aligned tips a substantially constant distance from a surface of substrate of the pad conditioner.
