A Study of Tungsten Metallization for the Advanced BEOL Interconnections

Chen, James Hsueh-Chung, Fan, Susan Su-Chen, Standaert, Theodorus E., Spooner, Terry A., Paruchuri, Vamsi 22 July 2016 (has links) (PDF)
In this paper, a study of tungsten metallization in advanced BEOL interconnects is presented. A mature 10 nm process is used for comparison between the tungsten and conventional copper metallization. Wafers were processed together till M1 dual-damascene etch then separated for different metallization. Tungsten metal line of 24 nm width is showing a 1.6X wire resistance comparing to the copper metal line. Comparable opens/shorts yield were obtained on a 0.8 M comb serpentine, Kelvin-via and 4K via chains. Similar physical profile were also achieved. This study has demonstrated the feasibility of replacing the copper by tungsten at BEOL using the conventional tungsten metallization tools and processes. This could be a cost- effective solution for the low-power products.

Films minces nanostructurés de domaines sub-10 nm à partir de copolymères biosourcés pour des applications dans le photovoltaïque organique / Sub-10 nm nano-structured carbohydrate-based block copolymer thin films for organic photovoltaic applications

Otsuka, Yoko 04 January 2017 (has links)
La structuration nanométrique par l'auto-assemblage des copolymères à blocs est l'une des stratégies « bottom-up » prometteuses pour contrôler la morphologie de la couche active de cellules photovoltaïques organiques. Dans cette thèse, une nouvelle classe de copolymère constitué d’un bloc semi-conducteur π-conjugué poly(3-hexylthiophène) (P3HT) regioregulier et d’un bloc oligosaccharidique a été synthétisée et a montré une auto-organisation en nanostructures périodiques de domaine inférieure à 10 nm. Deux systèmes de copolymères à blocs ont été synthétisés, le P3HT-bloc-maltoheptaose peracétylé (P3HT-b-AcMal7) et le P3HT-bloc-maltoheptaose (P3HT-b-Mal7), via une réaction de chimie "clic" entre les segments oligosaccharidiques et P3HT fonctionnalisés en extrémité. Une étude exhaustive sur leur comportement d'auto-assemblage par des analyses AFM, TEM et de diffusion des rayons X a révélé que le copolymère à bloc P3HT-b-AcMal7 montre une propension à s'auto-assembler par recuit thermique en structures lamellaires avec une résolution inférieure à 10 nm, c’est-à-dire la morphologie et la taille idéale pour la couche active d’une cellule photovoltaïque organique. De plus, ce système présente l’une des plus petites tailles de domaines réalisées par l'auto-assemblage de copolymères à blocs à base de P3HT. Un réseau lamellaire composé uniquement du P3HT a été obtenu par gravure chimique sélective du bloc sacrificiel AcMal7 à partir d'un film nano-organisé de P3HT-b-AcMal7 et ceci sans affecter la structure lamellaire initiale. Les domaines vides du AcMal7 gravé pourront être remplis par un composé accepteur d'électrons tel que le [6,6]-phényl-C61-butanoate de méthyle (PCBM) pour l’application photovoltaïque comme perspective de cette thèse. Les résultats et les connaissances acquises dans cette étude devraient permettre d'augmenter les performances des prochaines générations de cellules photovoltaïques organiques. / Nanoscale patterning through self-assembly of block copolymers is one of the promising bottom-up strategies for controlling active layer morphology in organic photovoltaics. In this thesis, a new class of carbohydrate-based semiconducting block copolymers consisting of π-conjugated regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and oligosaccharides were synthesized and self-organized into sub-10 nm scale periodic nanostructures. Two different diblock copolymers, i.e. P3HT-block-peracetylated maltoheptaose (P3HT-b-AcMal7) and P3HT-block-maltoheptaose (P3HT-b-Mal7) were synthesized via "click" reaction between end-functionalized oligosaccharide and P3HT moieties. A comprehensive investigation of their self-assembly behavior by AFM, TEM, and X-ray scattering analyses revealed that the P3HT-b-AcMal7 diblock copolymer has the ability to self-assemble into sub-10 nm scale lamellar structure, which is the ideal morphology of the active layer in organic photovoltaics and one of the smallest domain sizes achieved by self-assembly of P3HT-based block copolymers, via thermal annealing. Nano-patterned film made of P3HT was attained by selective chemical etching of AcMal7 block from microphase-separated P3HT-b-AcMal7 template without affecting the original lamellar structure. The resultant void where the etched-out AcMal7 block existed will be filled with electron acceptor compounds such as [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) for photovoltaic application as a perspective of this thesis. The results and knowledge obtained in this study are expected to provide further advances and innovation in organic photovoltaics.
