Abstract
The disclosure discloses a copper plating filling process method, comprising the steps of: forming a trench or a through-hole in a dielectric layer; forming a copper seed layer on an inner surface of the hole; allowing a waiting time after forming the copper seed layer and before performing a copper plating process, wherein during the waiting time, a surface of the copper seed layer is oxidized to form a copper oxide layer; performing a reduction process on the copper oxide layer; and filling a copper layer into the hole in the copper plating process afterwards. The copper oxide layer on the surface of the copper seed layer is reduced to copper in the reduction process, and wherein a thickness of the copper seed layers on the inner surface of the hole is uniform. The hole can be a trench or a through-hole.
