Problems solved by technology

[0006] The film quality of the film prepared by the above-mentioned preparation of the Cu film and the test and elimination method of the residual stress is good, and the residual stress in the entire film is correspondingly reduced, but there are still corresponding defects: the preparation process is more complicated, The required experimental equipment is also relatively high, and the requirements for the substrate are also very high
[0007] In summary, the traditional copper thin film preparation process is relatively complicated, and there is no effective control method for the magnitude of the residual stress generated during the preparation process.
