Patent CA-2385468-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TENCH MORGAN D
IPC: C25D3/38
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: The acid copper sulfate solutions used for electroplating copper circuitry in trenches and vias in IC dielectric material in the Damascene process are replaced with a type of plating system based on the use of highly complexing anions (e.g., pyrophos-phate, cyanide, sulfamate, etc.) to provide an inherently high overvoltage that effectively suppresses runaway copper deposition. Such systems, requiring only one easily-controlled organic additive species to provide outstanding leveling, are more efficaceous for bottom-up filling of Damascene trenches and vias than acid copper sulfate baths, which require a minimum of two organic additive species. The highly complexed baths produce fine-grained copper deposits that are typically much harder than large-grained acid sulfate copper deposits, and which exhibit stable mechanical properties that do not change with time, thereby minimizing "dishing" and giving more consistent CMP results. The mechanical properties and texture of the fine-grained deposits are also much less sub-strate dependent, which minimizes the effects of variations and flaws in the barrier and seed layers. The resistivity of pyrophosphate and annealed acid sulfate copper deposits are approximately equivalent.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des modifications apportées au protocole d'initiation de session (SIP) qui étendent de manière significative la fonctionnalité du SIP en fournissant par exemple un service permettant de mettre en place facilement et automatiquement des conférences multimédias. Les messages SIP sont associés à un code logiciel informatique, tel qu'un code octal Java, des applets Java ou des logiciels autonomes mobiles. Un logiciel Java mobile est un exemple de logiciel autonome mobile. Ce code logiciel informatique peut se trouver dans le corps du message SIP ou dans une adresse indiquant à quel endroit le code logiciel informatique est situé, stocké dans le message SIP. Les clients SIP sont placés de manière qu'à réception du message SIP qui a été associé au code logiciel informatique, le code soit traité par un processeur associé au client SIP. Par exemple, si les applets Java sont contenus dans le message SIP, ils sont traités par une machine virtuelle Java associée au client SIP. Si un logiciel Java mobile est contenu dans le message SIP, celui-ci est traité sur une machine virtuelle de logiciel Java mobile associée au client SIP. Dans un exemple, ce code logiciel informatique doit toujours être traité par un processeur associé à un client SIP avant que le client SIP n'exécute une autre action en rapport avec le message SIP. De préférence, un indicateur est placé dans l'en-tête du message SIP afin d'indiquer qu'il a été associé au code logiciel informatique, et les clients SIP sont placés de manière à détecter la présence de tels indicateurs. Une interface de programmation d'application est créée afin que le code logiciel informatique puisse commander le client SIP et/ou un quelconque processeur associé au client SIP. Dans un exemple, le code logiciel informatique est associé aux messages SIP afin de fournir un service permettant de mettre en place automatiquement des conférences multimédias.
