Mechanism of Grain Densification in Nano- and Poly-Crystalline Cu Films and Its Impact in Advanced Metallization Processes

We investigate the microstructural evolution of electrochemically deposited poly-crystalline Cu films during subsequent thermal process cycles at mild maximum temperatures, compatible with the integration in advanced metallization schemes for electronic device manufacturing. The modifications induce...
