Description
John Wiley and Sons Ltd Copper--Fundamental Mechanisms For Microelectronicapplications by MURARKA
A complete guide to the state of the art and future direction of copper interconnect technology Owing to its performance advantages copper metallization for IC interconnect is attracting tremendous interest in the semiconductor community worldwide. This timely book provides scientists and engineers with a much-needed comprehensive reference on the fundamentals and applications of this emerging technology. The authors draw on more than a decade of intimate involvement with copper interconnect research integrating the vast amounts of available knowledge and making clear the connection between mechanistic principles and relevant technologies.In-depth cutting-edge discussions include: The effects of copper in semiconductor materials especially silicon The fundamental chemistry and electro-chemistry of copper The effects of copper on insulating materials such as glass and polymers Intermetallic and interfacial reactions of copper in layered structures Current and projected applications of copper in integrated circuits Copper-Fundamental Mechanisms for Microelectronic Applications also features extensive references tables and over 100 illustrations-including dual Damascene patterning necessary for copper interconnects. It is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to explore the current literature and gain insight into opportunities opening in the field.show more
