Abstract

High aspect ratio through-silicon vias (3 μm diameter by 50 μm depth) have been filled by standard Cu plating process on electroless deposited (ELD) Cu seed layers on conformal liners of Ru or Co. The in-field Cu overburden that was needed to achieve electrochemical fill on the ELD-Cu seed was 600 nm. This is much lower than would have been needed in a conventional scheme with a PVD-Cu seed (of ∼ 1500 nm) and, with that, reduces the Cu CMP time. This work shows the feasibility of Cu electroless as deposition technique in a TSV metallization process.
