Disclosed are apparatus and method embodiments for achieving etch and/or
deposition selectivity in vias and trenches of a semiconductor wafer.
That is, deposition coverage in the bottom of each via of a semiconductor
wafer differs from the coverage in the bottom of each trench of such
wafer. The selectivity may be configured so as to result in punch through
in each via without damaging the dielectric material at the bottom of
each trench or the like. In this configuration, the coverage amount
deposited in each trench is greater than the coverage amount deposited in
each via.
