  • Abstract
    Complete gapfill of 0.1 μm features with electroless Cu seed layers and electroplated Cu was demonstrated. Electrical tests on test structures indicated similar line and via chain resistance, yield and line-to-line leakage current on wafers with electroless Cu seed and PVD Cu seed layers filled with electroplated Cu.
