[Previous technology] Among the basic technology required for the next-generation integrated circuit manufacturing process with a feature structure smaller than a quarter micron in size, for example, an ultra-large integrated device, in other words, containing more than one million logic gates For integrated circuit devices, multiple layers of conductors in the center are generally formed by using conductive materials, such as filled conductor structures with high aspect ratios. Technology, for example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and! (PVD) 'has been used to fill these wire features. However, it is gradually shrinking and the height-to-depth ratio is gradually increasing. It is becoming increasingly difficult to fill through the characteristic structure of the traditional metal hollow wire. Because there are several feasible electroplating technology processes, for example, electroplating and electroless plating are used to fill a micron-high aspect ratio conductor feature structure in the integrated circuit manufacturing process. In the electrochemical electroplating process, for example, a feature structure with an aspect ratio of less than a quarter of a micron, such as copper, can be efficiently filled. Electrochemical is generally a two-stage process, in which the surface characteristic structure of the substrate is first exposed to electricity after the special seed layer on the surface of the substrate. In a specific device that contains at least copper or copper contained in these cores, traditionally, physical vapor deposition has been used when the size of the wire has reached the above-mentioned reason. The electroplating (ECP) is less than a quarter of the material. The internal shape of the surface is formed into a degrading solution on the structure using a conductive metal plating process. 3 It is included in the characteristic structure for 100 seconds, which is characteristic of the traditional plating process. The above-mentioned conformal layer fully fills the feature structure 10 (one is after the filling, the sub-micron feature in other words refers to the accelerated growth of the feature structure that occurs when the feature structure is filled with 104, which will generally continue to produce an uneven substrate surface. In other words, on the filling feature structure, 200,402,483 At the same time, between the anode of the voltage. Applied to the substrate and the electrolyte lysate at the time of electricity. Therefore, the applied mass solution is generally rich in the voltage that can be plated on the surface of the substrate in the seed layer. Biasing can force ions out of the electrolytic solution (see Fig. 4) to illustrate the filling process.偻 The traditional electric money fills the shaped layer 102, the top and the π-continued from the bottom to the top :: The surface of the 100, which is the challenge of the electrochemical plating process, may be private. This area is higher than the area. After filling the growth rate from the bottom to the top of Ding Tian, and after the filling of the characteristic structure was completed, the phenomenon of overflow 106 occurred due to the bureau, and the area increased to the south. After that, the overflow is removed by a process. For example, the planarization process, the remaining metal will be removed from the entire substrate surface to form a flat surface. After the planarization process is over-planarized, the surface layout of the substrate that is not flat can cause the substrate. Material defects, such as extra shear and incompatible with non-removal processes, such as electropolishing and chemical dissolution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop equipment and methods to reduce the overflow of characteristic structures. [Summary of the Invention] The eight-body embodiment of the present invention relates to a method in which a region structure having a total distance of 10 to 20 points from a plating structure in a metal plating solution on a substrate is exposed to a special surface. 4 200402483 law. The method generally includes plating metal ions in the trench filling solution on the substrate to fully fill the characteristic structure on the substrate, and conditioning the substrate by the conditioning solution, and reducing the plating activity in the characteristic structure before completing the filling of the characteristic structure. A specific embodiment of the present invention further includes a method for electroplating metal on a substrate. The method generally includes fully plating the feature structure on the substrate with metal ions in the trench filling solution, dipping the substrate with the conditioning solution to sufficiently stop the plating activity in the feature structure, and then the metal in the bulk filling solution can be filled. The substrate is plated with ions. The specific embodiment of the present invention further includes processing the substrate in a plating bath containing a plating solution, applying a current to the plating bath, and plating metal ions in the filling solution on the substrate by electroplating to fully fill the characteristic structure in the substrate. Stopping the current supplied to the plating bath for a sufficient time sufficient to balance the diffusion phenomenon in the plating solution, and to provide current to the plating bath to obtain the desired plating layer thickness on the substrate. The specific embodiment of the present invention further comprises, after the seed layer deposition, treating the substrate with a conditioning solution containing at least a suppressor to sufficiently stop the conformal deposition of characteristic structures in the substrate, and using metal ions in the plating solution on the substrate. A plating reaction is performed on the substrate. [Embodiment] Detailed description of the preferred embodiment FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a plating system 200, including a mainframe 214, a plating solution replenishing system 220, and a control system 222. The mainframe 200402483 generally includes a thermal exercise chamber 211, a feeding station 21, a rotary washing and drying station 212, and a plurality of process stations 218. The feed station 21o generally includes a bite more substrate cassette receiving area 224, commonly referred to as a feed machine, one or more feed station transfer robots 228, and at least one substrate alignment chamber 23o. Each process station 218 includes one or more process tanks 24. The control system 222 can be a programmable microprocessor that can be configured as an interface to various system components and provide control signals. The plating solution replenishment system 220 is It is placed adjacent to the plating system 200 and is in fluid communication with the process tank 24 so that the plating solution can be circulated to the tank 240. Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the plating tank of the present invention. The above plating tank The 240 embodiment can be applied to all of the following steps, for example, polymer processing, trench filling, and block filling. In addition, other electroplating tanks that are well known to those skilled in the art can be used in any of the above steps. 240—Contains at least the container body 3 42 at least, and the upper part of the container body includes at least an opening for receiving and supporting the upper cover 344. The container body 342 can be made of electrically insulating materials. For example, the above materials can be plastic , Teflon, ceramics. The upper cover 344 serves as the upper cover, and includes a substrate support surface 346 at the lower portion. The substrate 348 and the substrate support table 346 is a parallel adjacency relationship, and the sister can be held in this direction by traditional substrate adsorption methods, for example, vacuum adsorption. The container body 3 42 can be round-shaped to accommodate a generally circular substrate 348 at one end. The material can also be in other shapes. The plating solution inlet 350 can be placed on the bottom of the container body 342. The plating solution can be drawn into the container body by the appropriate pump 351 connected to the inlet 350 200402483 342 < The substrate can be medium, the general solution 354 is metallic ceramic The solution metal 364 343 flows out of the solution channel in general. The surface of the substrate is convex and the liquid can flow upward into the container body 342 toward the substrate 348 to contact the exposed deposition surface 3 54. For example, the consumable anode is placed on The container body 3 42 is planned to be soluble in the electroplating solution to provide metal particles that can be deposited on the substrate surface 348. The anode 356 does not extend to the full width of the container body 342, and therefore allows electricity ore on the anode outer surface 3 56 flows between the inner surface of the container body 342 and the deposition surface. The anode 3 5 6 can also be selected to include the electrode and the consumable particles as packaging In a liquid-permeable film, for example, a porous Mann plate is used to deposit metal ions on a substrate from a plating solution. A porous consumable anode can also be placed in the container body 3 4 2 so that the plating can pass through the core. For non-consumable anodes, the electric clock solution may need to include a particle source to continuously replenish the metal ions deposited on the substrate 3 4 8. The container body 3 4 2-generally contains an outlet that is connected with the shoulder and upper end of the cathode contact ring 3 52 Ditch 35 8. Ditch 35 is generally a ring-shaped weir. The above-mentioned system is substantially the same plane (or slightly higher) than the substrate placement surface 368 and the deposition surface 354. The location of the weir 343 is to ensure that when the plating solution outlet groove 358 and the weir 3 43 are above, the deposition surface 354 is the same as that of the electroplating -π one ug, formed on the recording surface, and is fixed to the substrate support of the cover 344. Surface 346, in which channel 36 is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) at one end. A cathode contact ring 352 between the cover 344 and the body 342 can be connected to the power source 349 to extract 4 348 energy. The contact ring 352 generally has an f-edge 362 positioned partially through the cover, an inclined shoulder 3 "conforming to the 343, and an inner surface 368 to define the diameter of the deposition surface 354. The form of the shoulder 364; 200402483 makes the inner substrate The placement surface 368 is located below the flange 362. The row can contact the deposition surface 3 5 4 before the above-mentioned plating solution flows into the outlet plating solution. However, as mentioned above, the contact ring in FIG. 1 may be changed before being lifted out of the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the shoulders can be changed or the shoulders 364 can be discarded together to make the contact ring surface. When using a flat design, the contact ring 3 5 2. The container body cover 344 can be sealed to form a fluid-tight substrate placement surface 368 therebetween. It is preferable to extend the shortest distance in the direction of radiation in the direction of the substrate 348, preferably it must be sufficient to provide electrical contact with the metal on the substrate deposition surface 3 54. The precise substrate placement surface 368 radiates inward It varies with different applications. But generally, the distance is minimized, and the build-up surface 354 is exposed to the plating solution. In the specific example, the width of the radiation direction of the placement surface 368 is calculated from the basis. It can be between about 2 mm and about 5 mm. When the contact ring 3 52 is operated, it is charged with a negative charge for planning to be in electrical communication with the substrate 3 48. Therefore, when the surface of the plating material 354, the plating solution The ions will be attracted by the surface 354. Then the ions are electroplated on the surface 3 5 4 and form the required anode 356 and cathode contact ring 352, or the shape of the electric field on the surface of the auxiliary electrode 354 can be used. The auxiliary electrode 367 is placed in the waste channel 369 by a pen. By placing the auxiliary electrode 367 next to the fan, the electrode 3 67 can maintain the electric field with the plating solution during the manufacturing process. The angle between the space 3 and the front 3 and 8 and the design without the back 364 is substantially flat 342 and / or The distance below the boundary edge is the shortest, but the seed layer must maintain the extension distance so that in the maximum sinking example, the edge of the material 3 4 8 is the cathode, and the solution flows through the negative charge on the substrate. Except for 3 6 7 control Submersible body 342 Abandoned channel 369 Contact and influence 8 200402483 Substrate 3 4 8—Contains small scales in general, for example, micrometer dense clusters of feature structures. These feature structures are deep and are generally tens of microns wide, in other words Non-graph division. The specific embodiments of the present invention generally include a seed layer or more metal deposition steps, and a planarization step. Metal trench filling step and block filling step. The trench filling step is generally time to use this technology It is well known to fill the characteristic structure of the substrate from bottom to top. The bulk filling step generally continues the trench and continues to plate the substrate surface to the desired level. The specific embodiments of the present invention generally use at least grams per liter to about 1 〇 0 g / L copper sulfate, a copper electroplating solution having an acid concentration between about 5 g / L and a concentration between about 10 phl and about 200 ppm, for example, chlorine. The acid may generally be a sulfur g derivative. In addition to copper sulfate, the plating solution generally includes, among others, copper borate, copper gluconate, copper amine acid, copper phosphate, vaporized copper, or copper cyanide. The battery solution may further include one or more additives. For example, leveling agents, inhibitors, suppressors, agents, and other well-known additives in the art are generally organic materials for the surface of electric chain substrates. Effectively inhibiting ether, such as polyethylene glycol or other polymers, such as propylene, can be adsorbed on the surface of the substrate and slow down the deposition rate. Effective accelerators generally include sulfide or bis (3-sulfopropyl) disulfide, which can be suppressed to less than a quarter of the area generally about 1 micron. The deposition step, a deposition step includes a continuous After a sufficient filling step, the halogen ion 'I, phosphoric acid and / or other copper salts having a concentration between about 5 g / l and about 200, such as copper lutein and coke, can be used as brighteners. 3. Promote the adsorption of copper disulfide on the surface of the desired epoxy resin generally including poly-epoxy. The agent competes for the adsorption position and accelerates the adsorption area of sodium sulfonate and sodium sulfite. Factors add to the ratio of the bottom surface concentration. Ideally, these electricity satisfy the bottom-up filling composition. In general, the conditioning solution of the polymer processing step 1 of the present invention, to contain any combination of inhibitable electricity, for example, water, to fill the characteristic structure. The steps and blocks use different electric ore dissolving and suppressing agents, and the blocks are filled outside, when the substrate is filled by the trench. When the substrate is washed. Polymer treatment is also performed in a tank. Alternatively, a high concentration suppressor solution step can be selected. On steel deposition rate. Yes, it can suppress the consumption of the surface of the substrate, but the difference in the diffusion rate of the material, so that the special plating rate needs to be in the feature filling step. Therefore, the concrete embodiment of the electrical structure without voids still includes the use of polymers to reduce the activity of the electronic activity on the characteristic structure, including a poly-inhibitor, and a local high concentration filling step on the opening of the conditioning solution can be liquid. For example, trench filling> valley liquid generally includes groove transfer to block filling groove filling groove removal, which can be selected in the specific embodiment containing conditioning solution, so it is not necessary to make the inhibitor generally contain copper deposition. . After plating, holding the plating solution will result in a faster rate at the bottom of different electrical mineral structures on the characteristic structure. The mineral solution needs to be filled properly. Polymer-containing treatment steps Treat the surface of the substrate, for example plating activity. Conditioning solution Polymerization of ethylene and polypropylene can optionally include depromoting agents to wash off. Filling solutions in different process tanks 240 may include leveling agents and accelerators. The tank can be polymerized. The intermediate polymer at the intermediate polymer can be adjusted. The block-shaped filling tank contains at least the separation polymer treatment. The trench filling step and the block filling step can also be selected from the same process. After the agent leaching here includes step 10 200402483 240, 100 fewer backfills are required. Extra low characteristic junctions are promoted. After the backfilling of the agent and the substrate electroplating example can be pretreated, the electrical adjustment can be selected to perform. The polymer processing step can be included at least in the trench burying. Applying to the electroplating solution. The true step is completed. Your current is turned off without electricity. The electroplating solution is extended to the time interval until the drinking water reaches equilibrium, for example, seconds. The deposition process of the characteristic structure can generally be controlled from about -seconds to about the diffusion of the application ... b, the diffusion and the characteristic structure of the characteristic structure are quite obvious. Reducing the electroplating activity in the recording structure and filling structure in the characteristic structure / π-material diffusion can reduce the electrical ballast activity in the structure, so it can be reduced to 1 and no longer dominate the area of the special agent. —1… Locally high concentration on the structure. When the trench filling step is completed ’, the plating solution substrate can be immersed in the conditioning solvent for a sufficient time. The substrate can be added in the separate dip tank = not large, the tank can also be selected in the same tank, right tank > and washed again. Later, the tank can be filled with a groove-shaped filling solution different from the conditioning solution. Although it is not intended to be limited by theory, the time required for a dispersed phase 添加 a additive to diffuse to the surface will be affected by a conformal electric clock and electroplated shirt. Therefore, in order to eliminate the effect of conformal and provide immediate grabbing from the bottom to the top, the specific implementation of the present invention may be selectively included in the seed layer layer & the layer step and the metal plating step. . When the trench filling and block filling steps do not include polymer processing, the metal bell step-generally continues. The polymer pre-treatment step reduces the phenomenon of conformal deposition at the beginning of the mining process. The polymer pretreatment step involves rinsing or immersing the substrate in a trough rich in containment μ. The grooves can be the same as those used in the plating step, or the separation grooves are selected so the substrate is transferred to the electric money #. 11 200402483 When the above description is directed to a specific embodiment of the present invention, other or further specific embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in a device without departing from the basic scope of the invention and the scope of the following claims.
