Abstract

A multilayer metallization structure in a gate array circuit has been investigated by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Microstructures of thin films, interfaces, contacts, dislocations and step coverage are revealed. Good step coverage was observed when polyimide was used as an insulator between two metal layers.
