Assessing the lifetime of low-k dielectric materials integrated with Cu remains an important issue for interconnect reliability as designs pursue dielectric thicknesses below 100 nm. We present electrical tests and a mass transport model to assess Cu

Varying the voltage ramp rate during conventional I-V testing allows one to distinguish between metals that react with the surface of a dielectric or barrier (Al), metals that react and can be injected into the dielectric or barrier (Cu), and metals

Copper solubility in low-k dielectrics has been shown to be a major factor in decreasing the useful lifetime of an interconnect. A number of groups have shown experimentally that increased surface oxygen concentration, increased moisture content in t

In this article we study the effect of metallic barriers in inhibiting copper ion drift/diffusion into low-k dielectrics through a mathematical analysis. We extend our previous drift/diffusion model for copper ion drift without barriers to include th

An exact analytical solution to metal diffusion in a triplet stack consisting of a barrier material layer, an interlayer dielectric, and a semiconductor substrate has been developed. The solution shows how the diffusive behavior of the metal depends

A Multiple I-V Ramp Test is designed to stress low-k SiCOH-based dielectrics that have absorbed moisture. Two conduction regimes are found based on the total injected fluence into the dielectric films and the concentration of water in the dielectric.

The presence of -OH groups increases the dielectric constant of mesoporous silica films making them less suitable as interlayer dielectrics. To reduce the concentration of -OH groups a sintering process was used. The films were prepared by a spin-on,

We report observations of the morphological changes in sputter-deposited thin copper films (
