Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Processes and systems for electrolytically processing a microfeature workpiece with a first processing fluid and an anode are described. Microfeature workpieces are electrolytically processed using a first processing fluid, an anode, a second processing fluid, and a cation permeable barrier layer. The cation permeable barrier layer separates the first processing fluid from the second processing fluid while allowing certain cationic species to transfer between the two fluids. The described processes produce deposits over repeated plating cycles that exhibit deposit properties (e.g., resistivity) within desired ranges.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A process for electrolytically processing a microfeature workpiece as the working electrode with a first processing fluid and a counter electrode, comprising: providing a microfeature workpiece comprising a nonmetallic substrate having a dielectric layer disposed over a substrate and a continuous metal feature disposed on the dielectric layer and having microfeatures…
