Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of the Structure and Reliability of Near-Bamboo Interconnects
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple analytic model for the effect of post-patterning anneals on polygranular cluster length distributions is presented, which is consistent with detailed computer simulations of grain structures and grain structure evolution in interconnects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Effects of side reservoirs on the electromigration lifetime of copper interconnects
Hendro Mario,Chee Lip Gan,Yeow Kheng Lim,Juan Boon Tan,Jun Wei,Tongjai Chookajorn,Carl V. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a side reservoir test structure is shown to have improved electromigration reliability over conventional end-of-line reservoir structures, due to the ability of the side reservoir to trap migrating pre-existing voids before they reach the cathode end.
Journal ArticleDOI
Texture Maps for Orientation Evolution During Grain Growth in Thin Films
TL;DR: In this paper, the texture of grain growth in thin films was determined by using texture maps, and the texture which dominated grain growth can be understood through the use of texture maps and compares well with analytic models for texture development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect Measurements to Study Strain and Misfit Accommodation in Thin Films of Ni/Cu (100)
H. E. Inglefield,C. A. Ballentine,Gabriel Bochi,S. S. Bogomolov,R. C. O’Handley,Carl V. Thompson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) was used to detect magnetic transitions in Ni/Cu (100) films as a function of Ni thickness through in situ measurements of MOKE.
