  • Abstract
    Ta-based diffusion barriers, nano-cluster TaSi0.55, polycrystalline TaSi0.42 and TaN, were used for the application of the Cu/porous silica damascene integration. The leakage current, bias-temperature-stress measurements, atomic force microscope, and Auger electron mapping were then investigated. The samples with nano-cluster TaSi0.55 showed the best performance among these samples.
