Abstrakt: We discuss the use of the picosecond ultrasonics technique for characterizing several challenging processes which are common in sub-0.18 micron processes. Specific processes considered are reactive TaN, RTP-CoSi[sub 2], and damascene copper. We describe the transition from one- to two-dimensional acoustical excitations in damascene copper lines, and show how picosecond ultrasonics measurements can be used in to make high throughput, all-optical copper line CD measurements.
