Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, the diversity of fracture strength for the metal/insulator interface in semiconductor interconnects was investigated. Single crystalline copper and the interface structure consists of single crystalline copper and insulation layers were subjected to microscale mechanical test under scanning electron microscopy in order to evaluate the plasticity of single crystal copper and Cu/SiN interface strength quantitatively. Considering the obtained results, the surface energy of Cu/SiN interface strongly depends on the crystal plane orientation of Cu crystal facing to SiN layer. In addition, the diversity of resistance for Cu/SiN interface fracture is magnified by both the anisotropy of plasticity due to copper crystallinity and above-mentioned the diversity of Cu/SiN surface energy.
