Abstract:
In one example, an electroplating system comprises a bath reservoir, a holding device, an anode, a direct current power supply, and a controller. The bath reservoir contains an electrolyte solution. The holding device holds a wafer submerged in the electrolyte solution. The wafer comprises features covered by a cobalt layer. The anode is opposite to the wafer and submerged in the electrolyte solution. The direct current power supply generates a direct current between the holding device and the anode. A combination of forward and reverse pulses is applied between the holding device and the anode to electroplate a copper layer on the cobalt layer of the wafer.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein the combination of forward direct current pulse and reverse direct current pulse includes a series of a high convection forward pulse, a high convection reverse pulse, and a low convection reverse pulse.
