Experiment and simulation of single inhibitor SH110 for void-free TSV copper filling

Abstract Three-dimensional integration with through-silicon vias (TSVs) is a promising microelectronic interconnection technology. Three-component additives are commonly used for void-free TSV filling. However, optimising the additive concentrations is an expensive process. To avoid this, a single-c...
