Abstrakt: Copper/low-k dielectric materials have been rapidly replacing conventional aluminum-alloy/SiO2-based interconnects in today’s semiconductor devices. This paper reviews the advantages of transitioning to copper/low-k interconnects. Materials and process challenges during the fabrication of devices with copper/low-k interconnects are discussed. Reliability concerns associated with such devices are highlighted.
