Atomic layer deposition of ruthenium is studied as a barrierless metallization solution for future sub-10 nm interconnect technology nodes. We demonstrate the void-free filling in wide single damascene lines using an ALD process combination with 2.5 Å TiN interface and postdeposition annealing. At such small dimensions, effective resistance depends less on scaling than that Cu/barrier systems. Ruthenium potentially crosses Cu curve at 14 10 according to semiempirical model advanced These...

For the first time DNA coils formed by rolling circle amplification are quantified on‐chip Brownian relaxation measurements on magnetic nanobeads using a magnetoresistive sensor. No external fields required besides field arising from current through sensor, which makes setup very compact. Limits of detection down to 500 Bacillus globigii spores and 2 pM Vibrio cholerae demonstrated, same order magnitude or lower than those achieved previously commercial macro‐scale AC susceptometer.

Graphene metrology needs to keep up with the fast pace of developments in graphene growth and transfer. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is a non-contact, fast, non-destructive characterization technique for mapping electrical properties graphene. Here we show several case studies on range different substrates that highlight versatility THz-TDS measurements its relevance process optimization production scenarios.
Epitaxial graphene is a promising route to wafer-scale production of electronic devices. Chemical vapor deposition on silicon carbide offers epitaxial growth with layer control but subject significant spatial and wafer-to-wafer variability. We use terahertz time-domain spectroscopy micro four-point probes analyze the variations quasi-freestanding bilayer grown 4 in. (SiC) wafers find in electrical properties across large regions, which are even reproduced different SiC cut from same ingot....
Electrical four-terminal sensing at (sub-)micrometer scales enables the characterization of key electromagnetic properties within semiconductor industry, including materials’ resistivity, Hall mobility/carrier density, and magnetoresistance. However, as devices’ critical dimensions continue to shrink, significant over/underestimation due a by-product Joule heating probed volume becomes increasingly common. Here, we demonstrate how self-heating effects can be quantified compensated for via 3ω...

We have studied the behavior of micro four-point probe (M4PP) measurements on two-dimensional (2D) sheets composed grains varying size and grain boundary resistivity by Monte Carlo based finite element (FE) modelling. The 2D sheet FE model was constructed using Voronoi tessellation to emulate a polycrystalline sheet, square sample cut from tessellated surface. Four-point resistances Hall effect signals were calculated for placed in center as function density n ρGB. find that dual...
Sheet resistance, carrier mobility, and sheet density are important parameters in semiconductor production, it is therefore to be able rapidly accurately measure these even on small samples or pads.
