In this thesis, the electrochemical deposition of cobalt is studied as an alternative to replacing copper in the dual-damascene process in microelectronic interconnections. Cobalt has the potential to reduce the electrical resistivity of interconnections whose critical dimensions (CD) are less than 15 nm. In CD = 15 nm structures, the percentage of metallic filling is about 33% with copper, while it is 87% for cobalt. This difference is related to the barrier and liner layers' thicknesses, which are essential to control electromigration and ensure the copper seed layer's adhesion in the final structure. However, when using cobalt, the barrier layer can be reduced while controlling electromigration due to the lower mean free path in cobalt t...
