Damascene Cu electroplating for on-chip metallization, which we conceived and developed in the early 199Os, has been central to IBM's Cu chip interconnection technology. We review here the challenges of filling trenches and vias with Cu without creating a void or seam, and the discovery that electrodeposition can be engineered to give filling performance significantly better than that achievabl...

Zinc oxide nanostructures are deposited on glass substrates in the presenceof oxygen reactive gas at room temperature using the radio frequency magnetronsputtering technique. In this research, the effects of zinc oxide sputtering pressure on thenanostructure properties of the deposited layer are investigated. The deposition pressurevaries from 7.5 to 20.5 mTorr. AFM resu...
