Adhesion in a Copper-Ruthenium Multilayer Nano-scale Structure and the Use of a Miedema Plot to Select a Diffusion Barrier Metal for Copper Metallization

abstract: Miedema's plot is used to select the Cu/metal barrier for Cu metallization.The Cu/metal barrier system selected should have positive heat of formation (Hf) so that there is no intermixing between the two layers. In this case, Ru is chosen as a potential candidate, and then the barrier...
