摘要 |
In general, the present invention is directed to acoustically enhanced deposition processes, and a system for performing same. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a substrate having a layer of insulating material formed thereabove, the layer of insulating material having a plurality of openings formed therein, performing a deposition process to form a layer of metal at least in the openings in the layer of insulating material, and actuating at least one acoustic generator to generate sound waves during the deposition process. In one illustrative embodiment, the system comprises a deposition tool for receiving a substrate having a layer of insulating material formed thereabove, the layer of insulating material having a plurality of openings formed therein, and performing a deposition process to form a layer of metal at least in the openings in the layer of insulating material, and at least one acoustic generator coupled to the deposition tool to generate sound waves during the deposition process.
