“…2,3 Self-annealing in copper interconnects was observed to be accompanied by changes in resistivity, texture, roughness, stress, and hardness. [1][2][3][4]10 Among these, resistivity measurements are frequently used to quantify the underlying microstructure evolution because of the relative simplicity. Matthiessen's rule states that the resistivity of a material, q T , can be described by the sum of different contributions, i.e.,…”
