Patent number: 7815786Abstract: An electrolytic plating method and composition for electrolytically plating Cu onto a semiconductor integrated circuit substrate having submicron-sized interconnect features. The composition comprises a source of Cu ions and a suppressor compound comprising polyether groups. The method involves superfilling by rapid bottom-up deposition at a superfill speed by which Cu deposition in a vertical direction from the bottoms of the features to the top openings of the features is substantially greater than Cu deposition on the side walls.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Enthone Inc.Inventors: Vincent Paneccasio, Jr., Xuan Lin, Paul Figura, Richard Hurtubise
