Abstract

The effect of various barrier materials on the microstructure of electroplated Copper films was investigated. Analysis of the Cu was performed at the as-deposited, room temperature stabilized, and annealed states. It shows that the barrier material can have a dramatic effect on the properties of electroplated Cu.
