Abstract
The relationship of mechanical properties and micro texture of electroplated copper thin films used for 3D interconnections was investigated using a SEM, and an EBSD method. As a result, it was found that the mechanical properties changed due to the change of the average grain size and the crystallinity of grains and grain boundaries.
