  • Abstract
    The authors describe an aluminum sputter process, called the Al-plug process, which results in complete filling of submicron contacts and vias of various sizes. The process can be done in a conventional sputtering system. Material and electrical characterization of the film and the implementation of this process in submicron integrated circuits are presented.<>
