| 摘要 |
An apparatus and associated method for deposition of metal ions contained in an electrolyte solution to form a metal film primarily on a seed layer formed on at least a first side of a substrate. The substrate has a second side that is opposed the first side and an edge joining the first side and the second side. The apparatus comprises a substrate holder system and an electric contact element. The electric contact element physically contacts one of the second side or the edge of the substrate. In one aspect, the substrate is rotated about its vertical axis when the seed layer of substrate is immersed in the electrolyte solution during the metal film deposition. In another aspect, the substrate is not rotated about its vertical axis when the seed layer on the substrate is immersed in the electrolyte solution during the metal film deposition. In different embodiments, the electric contact element contacts the seed layer on the second side of the substrate, a diffusion barrier layer on the second side of the substrate, or the seed layer on the edge of the substrate.
