    摘要: Systems and methods to remove or lessen the size of metal particles that have formed on, and to limit the rate at which metal particles form or grow on, workpiece surface influencing devices used during electrodeposition are presented. According to an exemplary method, the workpiece surface influencing device is occasionally placed in contact with a conditioning substrate coated with an inert material, and the bias applied to the electrodeposition system is reversed. According to another exemplary method, the workpiece surface influencing device is conditioned using mechanical contact members, such as brushes, and conditioning of the workpiece surface influencing device occurs, for example, through physical brushing of the workpiece surface influencing device with the brushes. According to a further exemplary method, the workpiece surface influencing device is rotated in different direction during electrodeposition.

    摘要: The present invention deposits a conductive material from an electrolyte solution to a predetermined area of a wafer and thereafter electropolishes the wafer. The steps that are used when making this application include applying the conductive material to the predetermined area of the wafer using an electrolyte solution disposed on a surface of the wafer, when the wafer is disposed between a cathode and an anode, and preventing accumulation of the conductive material to areas other than the predetermined area by mechanically polishing the other areas while conductive material is being applied. Thereafter, electropolishing of the previously applied conductive material takes place by applying a second potential difference having a polarity opposite the first potential difference that was used when applying the conductive material. While applying the second potential difference, polishing of the conductive layer with the previously accumulated conductive material disposed thereover is performed.

    摘要: A wet process apparatus, e.g., plating cell for plating a flat substrate introduces a flow of electrolyte or other plating solution across the surface of the substrate to be plated. The substrate is mounted on a holder that is positioned on a door that swings between a horizontal open position and a vertical closed position. There is a circular opening in a front wall against which the door seats. The door can have a sealing ring that contacts the wall of the cell outside of the opening. A cathode ring disposed in a recess in the periphery of the opening makes electrical contact with the substrate. The cathode ring can include a thin metal thieving ring. A fluid-powered rotary blade or wiper within the plating chamber rotates to draw bubbles or other impurities from the substrate, and a megasonic transducer applies megasonic acoustic energy to the solution, e.g., at 0.2 to 5 Mhz. The cell can be used for electroless or galvanic plating.
