Imec and Tokyo Electron Demonstrate Electrical Advantages of Direct Cu Etch Scheme for Advanced Interconnects

May 20, 2015

IEEE IITC, Grenoble, (France) – May 20, 2015 – Today, at the IEEE IITC conference, nano-electronics research center imec and Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) presented a direct Cu etch scheme for patterning Cu interconnects. The new scheme has great potential to overcome resistivity and reliability issues that occur while scaling conventional Cu damascene interconnects for advanced nodes.

Aggressive scaling of damascene Cu interconnects leads to a drastic increase in the resistivity of the Cu wires, due to the fact that grain size is limited by the damascene trenches, which results in increased grain boundary and surface scattering. Additionally, the grain boundary … Read More → "Imec and Tokyo Electron Demonstrate Electrical Advantages of Direct Cu Etch Scheme for Advanced Interconnects"
