Abstract
A film formation method includes preparing a substrate formed a Co film as a seed layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a negative voltage to the substrate such that a surface potential of Co is lower than an oxidation potential of the Co, and in a state when the negative voltage is applied to the substrate, dipping the Co film in a plating solution mainly containing copper sulfate solution, thereby a Cu film is formed on the Co film of the substrate by electroplating.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A film formation method comprising:
preparing a substrate formed a Co film as a seed layer on a surface of the substrate; applying a negative voltage to the substrate such that a surface potential of Co is lower than an oxidation potential of the Co; and in a state when the negative voltage is applied to the substrate, dipping the Co film in a plating solution mainly containing copper sulfate solution, thereby a Cu film is formed on the Co film of the substrate by electroplating.
2 . The film formation method of claim 1 , wherein the Co film is formed by CVD.
3 . The film formation method of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the Co film ranges from 1.5 to 5 nm.
4 . The film formation method of claim 1 , wherein a voltage is applied before the substrate is dipped in the plating solution such that a potential difference between the substrate and the plating solution is equal to or greater than 0.3 V at a time when the Co film on the surface of the substrate is dipped in the plating solution.
5 . A film formation method comprising:
forming a Co film to become a seed layer on a substrate by CVD; applying a negative voltage to the substrate such that a surface potential of Co is lower than an oxidation potential of the Co; and in a state when the negative voltage is applied to the substrate, dipping the Co film in a plating solution mainly containing copper sulfate solution, thereby a Cu film is formed on the Co film of the substrate by electroplating.
6 . The film formation method of claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the Co film ranges from 1.5 to 5 nm.
7 . The film formation method of claim 5 , wherein a voltage is applied before the substrate is dipped in the plating solution such that a potential difference between the substrate and the plating solution is equal to or greater than 0.3 V at a time when the Co film on the surface of the substrate is dipped in the plating solution.
8 . A storage medium operating on a computer, having stored thereon a program for controlling a film formation apparatus and controlling the film formation apparatus on the computer, wherein the program performs, when the program is executed, a film formation method comprising preparing a substrate formed a Co film as a seed layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a negative voltage to the substrate such that a surface potential of Co is lower than an oxidation potential of the Co, and in a state when the negative voltage is applied to the substrate, dipping the Co film in a plating solution mainly containing a copper sulfate solution, thereby a Cu film is formed on the Co film of the substrate by electroplating.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
