Popis: The influence of both soluble and insoluble anodes on the kinetics and morphology of the copper deposit in the damascene process was investigated by voltammetry and impedance techniques. A plating bath known to provide conformal superfilling of trenches and vias in the microelectronic industry was used. It was shown that the use of a glassy carbon anode leads to faster degradation of the plating bath which is detrimental to the copper deposit. A copper anode decreases the aging rate by limiting the anodic potential compared to the glassy carbon anode where high anodic potentials prevail during the copper deposition process.
