Abstract:Controlling and preventing Cu oxidation is crucial for improving the performance and reliability of Cu-Cu bonding. Ni-B films were selectively deposited on Cu films to block the Cu oxidation. The resistivity changes of the Cu films in N2 and O2 ambient were measured by using a four-point probe in the in-situ temperature-dependent resistance measurements at the temperature from room temperature to 400°C. The resistivity changes of the 100nm-thick Cu films without Ni-B increased rapidly at a higher temperature (… Show more
