Within the framework of this project it is intended to develop new concepts for the superfill of large, micrometer-sized copper interconnect architectures that are needed for the future 3D-TSV (Through Silicon Via) technology. This project involves the tailored design (synthesis) of new electroplating additives, mechanistic studies on the action mode of these new types of additives at the copper/electrolyte interface under reactive conditions and finally the ultimate proof-of-principle of these concepts using state-of-the-art 3D-TSV test structures. This project is therefore going to cover topics, approaches and methodologies from both fundamental and applied research.
