Through-chip electrodes with high aspect ratios can offer the shortest interconnection and reduce signal delay. Copper has been selected as that electrode material because of its good compatibility to conventional multilayer interconnection in large-scale integration and back end-of-line processes. In this paper, filling vias with higher aspect ratio, 10 m 2 and 70 m depth, used for through-chip electrodes is reported. Removing overhang at via tops is important to achieve perfect via filling. Upon testing a series of electrodeposition conditions, conformal electrodeposits were obtained. With those conformal electrodeposits, seams and voids always remained at the via center. Perfect via filling was achieved by the pulse reverse plating method and by increasing Janus Green B concentration up to 20 mg/L in the plating bath.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
