  • Publication number: 20240018678
    Abstract: An electrolytic plating composition for superfilling submicron features in a semiconductor integrated circuit device and a method of using the same. The composition comprises (a) a source of copper ions to electrolytically deposit copper onto the substrate and into the electrical interconnect features, and (b) a suppressor comprising at least three amine sites, said polyether comprising a block copolymer substituent comprising propylene oxide (PO) repeat units and ethylene oxide (EO) repeat units, wherein the number average molecular weight of the suppressor compound is between about 1,000 and about 20,000.

  • Patent number: 11434578
    Abstract: Processes and compositions for electroplating a cobalt deposit onto a semiconductor base structure comprising sub-micron-sized electrical interconnect features. In the process, a metalizing substrate within the interconnect features is contacted with an electrodeposition composition comprising a source of cobalt ions, an accelerator comprising an organic sulfur compound, an acetylenic suppressor, a buffering agent and water. Electrical current is supplied to the electrolytic composition to deposit cobalt onto the base structure and fill the submicron-sized features with cobalt. The process is effective for superfilling the interconnect features.
