Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for depositing metal layers on substrates with improved surface morphology. According to one aspect of the invention, a metal is deposited by chemical vapor deposition on a substrate having an aperture formed therein. A metal is then deposited on the substrate by physical vapor deposition performed with a low substrate temperature. The substrate is then heated. The substrate may then receive a metal deposited by physical vapor deposition performed at a high temperature and an additional heating step. The aperture of the resulting substrate is filled with metal and is substantially void-free and has a smooth surface morphology.
