ABSTRACT:
Consistent excess conductive material is provided for plated conductors in integrated circuit metallization, regardless of the size and depth of trenches/vias into which the conductive material is deposited. Accordingly, subsequent processing (e.g., material removal) can be consistent and efficient for wafers with different feature sizes (particularly different depths), and for wafers at different metallization levels.
