Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for void-free Ru metal filling of features in a substrate. The method includes providing a substrate containing features, depositing a Ru metal layer in the features, removing the Ru metal layer from a field area around an opening of the features, and depositing additional Ru metal in the features, where the additional Ru metal is deposited in the features at a higher rate than on the field area.
