Description
[0001]本発明の実施形態は、一般的に、無電解堆積プロセスを実行するための処理プラットフォームに関する。
[0002]100ナノメートル未満のサイズの特徴部のメタライゼーションは、現在および将来世代の集積回路製造プロセスの基礎的技術である。更に詳しくは、超大規模集積型デバイスのようなデバイス、すなわち100万個を超える論理ゲートを持つ集積回路を有するデバイスにおいて、これらのデバイスの心臓部に存する多層配線は、一般的に、高アスペクト比すなわち約10:1より高いアスペクト比の配線特徴に銅のような導電性材料を充填することによって形成される。従来、配線特徴を充填するために化学気相堆積および物理気相堆積のような堆積技術が使用されてきた。しかし、配線サイズが減少し、アスペクト比が増加するにつれて、従来のメタライゼーション技術によるボイドの無い(無ボイド)配線充填はどんどん難しくなる。その結果、集積回路製造プロセスにおける100ナノメートル未満のサイズの高アスペクト比の配線特徴部の無ボイド充填のための有望なプロセスとして、メッキ技術すなわち電気化学メッキおよび無電解堆積が出現した。更に、キャッピング層のようなポスト堆積層を堆積するための有望なプロセスとして、メッキプロセスおよび特に無電解堆積プロセスが出現した。
