Technical Examples

The present invention relates to a method of fabricating planar semiconductor wafers. The method comprises forming a dielectric layer on a semiconductor wafer surface, the semiconductor wafer surface having vias, trenches and planar regions. A barrier and seed metal layer is then formed on the dielectric layer. The wafer is next place in a plating bath that includes an accelerator, which tends to collect in the vias and trenches to accelerate the rate of plating in these areas relative to the planar regions of the wafer. After the gapfill point is reached, the plating is stopped by removing the plating bias on wafer. An equilibrium period is then introduced into the process, allowing higher concentrations of accelerator additives and other components of the bath)] above the via and trench regions to equilibrate in the plating bath. The bulk plating on the wafer is resumed after equilibration. Over-plating on the wafer in the areas of the vias and trenches is therefore avoided, resulting in a more planar metallization layer on the wafer, without the use of a leveler additive which adversely affects the gapfill capability.
