Abstract:
Voltage-activated electrochemical reactions of Cu for electrochemical mechanical polishing (ECMP) application were investigated with different concentration of HNO3 electrolyte. The electrochemical characteristics of Cu such as active, passive, transient and trans-passive state were evaluated from its current-voltage (I-V) curve obtained by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. The proposed mechanism and analyses were a good methodology in finding suitable electrochemical process parameter for ECMP application.
