Definitions

  • the invention relates in general terms to a method for electrochemical deposition and/or etching and to an electrochemical cell of this nature, for the purpose of depositing or etching metal, metal alloys, composition- modulated layers or composites on or off a workpiece which is at least partially electrically conductive, in accordance with the preamble of Claim 1.
  • the method and the cell device according to the invention can preferably be used for the production of:
  • microelectronic components such as electrical conductors, resistors, inductive elements, capacitive elements, magnetic elements and switching elements, for example as part of integrated circuits on silicon wafers;
  • optical and opto-electronic components for example screen components, photocells, photoelectric generators ;
  • - plane-parallel metal multilayers with special magnetic, optical, electrical, mechanical properties such as for example Co/Cu, Co/Ni/Cu multilayers
  • - dispersion composite layers for example nickel - silicon carbide layers, nickel-phosphorus- fluoropolymer layers, the carbide particles and polymer particles, respectively, being incorporated in a layer of metal or metal alloy.
  • US-A-5, 516,412 improves the uniformity at the level of the workpiece and partially reduces the risk of contamination and H 2 pits by positioning the cathode and anode vertically. Since the electrolyte is moved, the uniformity of electrodeposition remains a problem with regard to the cavities.
  • the invention described here aims, inter alia, to improve the uniformity at the level of the workpiece and the cavities and to avoid the risk of contamination and H 2 pits. A similar approach applies for the relative etching of material.
  • the electrolyte moves with respect to the cathode (anode) in order to counteract depletion (enrichment) of the electrolyte in the vicinity of the cathode (anode) , with the result that the deposition rate (etching rate) and the homogeneity of the electrolyte are increased. If the flow of liquid or the liquid flow rate is uniform or randomly turbulent, this provides better uniformity in deposition on or etching from relatively extensive flat layers.
  • an intermittent variation in flow rate is imposed on the electrolyte in accordance with a cycle composed of two phases: a first phase where the flow rate is essentially other than zero and a second, subsequent phase where the flow rate is essentially equal to zero.
  • the electrodeposition (the etching) is preferably carried out by means of a cell which comprises plane- parallel electrodes which are disposed close together and are submerged in an electrolyte.
  • the electrolyte is introduced through one or more openings in the anode or the cathode or between the anode and the cathode or, if appropriate, through an opening at the side between anode and cathode.
  • a valve mechanism and/or a pump is designed in such a manner that the flow rate of the electrolyte between the electrodes can be fully controlled. This mechanism, combined with suitable positioning of anode and cathode, ensure that the flow of liquid between the electrodes can be forcibly accelerated or decelerated and even brought to a standstill.
  • the liquid (containing the electrolyte) between the electrodes is partially or completely replaced, and in the second position, when the liquid is virtually, and preferably completely, at a standstill, the electrodeposition (the etching) takes place.
  • the flow rate is intermittently controlled in such a manner that a sufficiently high liquid flow rate is achieved, so that small gas bubbles and any debris are discharged during each cycle, in particular during the first phase of each cycle, in which the flow rate is essentially other than zero. After this, the flow rate gradually decreases, with the result that the flow of liquid is decelerated.
  • a sinu- soidal flow rate which is easy to realize, preferably meets these characteristics.
  • Controlling the flow of liquid is necessary in order to achieve a high cycle frequency and essentially ensures complete replacement with electrolyte, which if appropriate has been filtered and revitalized, in the space between the electrodes. For this reason, the cell and the method according to the invention are suitable -for operating at high current density and therefore high deposition rate (or etching rate) . Discharging hydrogen bubbles prevents the formation of H 2 pits. The high liquid flow and frequency prevents contamination debris produced at the anode from being able to settle on the cathode.
  • the cell according to the invention may be equipped with an anode which is in conformity with the cathode, an auxiliary cathode and/or a dielectric shield at the edge, thus preventing non-uniform deposition caused by the edge effect.
  • the electrodes • can be arranged very close to one another, the volume of electrolyte which has to be completely replaced each cycle, if desired, is low.

  • - multilayers and/or composite layers can be manufactured using one or more electrolytes.
