Abstract

See full text

We disclose a method of depositing a metal seed layer on a wafer substrate comprising a plurality of recessed device features. The method comprises depositing a first portion of the metal seed layer on the wafer via plasma deposition at a sufficient ratio of wafer substrate bias to DC source power that bottom coverage is achieved while resputtering of surfaces of the recessed device features is inhibited. The method also comprises depositing a second portion of the metal seed layer at a ration of substrate RF bias to DC source power such that resputtering is not inhibited.
