Method of electroplating copper over a patterned dielectric layer

摘要

In a new method of electroplating metal onto a patterned dielectric layer including small diameter vias and large diameter trenches, a pulse reverse electroplating sequence with a two-component chemistry is modified to substantially fill the vias, while in a subsequent DC deposition the bulk material is deposited to completely fill the large diameter trenches. Thus, good control quality compared to conventional three-component chemistry electroplating is obtained while the superior characteristics of a metal layer deposited by a two-component chemistry are preserved. The method is particularly advantageous in electroplating copper.
