Electromigration-Induced Plastic Deformation in Passivated Metal Lines
We have used scanning white beam x-ray microdiffraction to study microstructural evolution during an in-situ electromigration experiment on a passivated Al(Cu) test line. The data show plastic deformation and grain rotations occurring under the influence of electromigration, seen as broadening, movement, and splitting of reflections diffracted from individual metal grains. We believe this defor...
متن کاملMicrotexture and electromigration-induced drift in electroplated damascene Cu
In this work, the electromigration ~EM! performance of electroplated damascene Cu is investigated by drift experiments on Blech-type test structures in both polycrystalline and bamboo microstructures. For the first, microtexture data were obtained from electron backscatter diffraction as well. While both bonding areas and 10 mm wide lines were found to have a predominantly random grain orientat...
متن کاملPlastic Deformation Modes of CuZr/Cu Multilayers.
We synthesized CuZr/Cu multilayers and performed nanoindentation testing to explore the dependence of plastic deformation modes on the thickness of CuZr layers. The Cu layers were 18 nm thick and the CuZr layers varied in thickness from 4 nm to 100 nm. We observed continuous plastic co-deformation in the 4 nm and 10 nm CuZr - 18 nm Cu multilayers and plastic-induced shear instability in thick C...
متن کاملAnalysis of Electromigration in Dual-Damascene Interconnect Structures
We have analyzed the stress build-up and vacancy dynamics due to material transport caused by electromigration in dual-damascene interconnect structures. Our model incorporates all relevant driving forces for material transport with a complete integration of mechanical stress in connection with microstructural aspects. First, it is shown that the addition of redundant vias can be effective in i...
متن کاملMechanical alloying of Cu and Fe induced by severe plastic deformation of a Cu-Fe composite
A filamentary composite elaborated by cold drawing was processed by High Pressure Torsion (HPT). The nanostructure resulting from this severe plastic deformation (SPD) was investigated thanks to scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and 3D atom probe. Although the mutual solubility of Cu and Fe is extremely low at room temperature in equilibrium condi...
