Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are methods and apparatus for electroplating metal into recessed features. The techniques described herein utilize a polarization stabilizer compound to increase the stability of polarization at the substrate-electrolyte interface over time. Polarization stabilizers minimize changes in polarization to achieve improved plating results for a single substrate, and more uniform plating results over the course of several substrates. Furthermore, the polarization stabilizers discussed herein may be used to extend the lifetime of a particular electrolyte, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
