Processing-Structure-Protrusion Relationship of 3-D Cu TSVs: Control at the Atomic Scale

A phase-field-crystal model is used to investigate the processing-structure-protrusion relationship of blind Cu through-silicon vias (TSVs) at the atomic scale. A higher temperature results in a larger TSV protrusion. Deformation via dislocation motion dominates at temperatures lower than around 300...
