    Abstract: An apparatus and method for mapping film thickness of one or more textured polycrystalline thin films. Multiple sample films of known thickness are provided. Each sample film is irradiated by x-ray at a measurement point to generate a diffraction image that captures a plurality of diffraction arcs. Texture information (i.e., pole densities) of the sample film is calculated based on incomplete pole figures collected on the diffraction image and used to correct the x-ray diffraction intensities from such sample. The corrected diffraction intensities are integrated for each sample film, and then used for constructing a calibration curve that correlates diffraction intensities with respective known film thickness of the sample films. The film thickness of a textured polycrystalline thin film of unknown thickness can therefore be mapped on such calibration curve, using a corrected and integrated diffraction intensity obtained for such thin film of unknown thickness.

    Abstract: Grooves (70, 76, 78, & 80-82) are formed in a CMP pad (12) by positionin g the pad (12) on a supporting surface (10) with a working surface (22) of the pad (12) in spaced relation opposite to a router bit (24) and at least one projecting stop member (33) adjacent to the router bit (24), an outer end portion of the bit (24) projecting beyond the stop (33). When the bit (24) i s rotated, relative axial movement between the bit (24) and the pad (12) cause s the outer end portion of the bit (24) to cut an initial recess in the pad (12). Relative lateral movement between the rotating bit (24) and the pad (1 2) then forms a groove (70) which extends laterally away from the recess and ha s a depth substantially the same as that of the recess. The depths of the initial recess and the groove (70) are limited by applying a vacuum to the working surface (22) of the pad (12) to keep it in contact with the stop member(s) (33). Different lateral movements between the bit (24) and the pad (12) are used to form a variety of groove patterns (76, 78, & 80-82), th e depths of which are precisely controlled by the stop member(s) (33).

    Abstract: Eine Metallverbindungsstruktur und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung der Metallverbindungsstruktur. Mangan (Mn) wird in eine Kupfer(Cu)-Verbindungsstruktur eingebaut, um die Mikrostruktur zu modifizieren, um Bambusstil-Korngrenzen in Sub-90-nm-Technologien zu erreichen. Vorzugsweise sind die Bambuskörner durch Abstände von weniger als der „Blech”-Länge getrennt, so dass eine Kupfer(Cu)-Diffusion durch Korngrenzen vermieden wird. Das hinzugefügte Mn löst auch das Wachstum von Cu-Körnern herunter bis zu der unteren Fläche der Metallleitung aus, so dass eine echte Bambusmikrostruktur gebildet wird, welche bis zu der unteren Fläche reicht, und der Cu-Diffusionsmechanismus entlang Korngrenzen, die entlang der Länge der Metallleitung orientiert sind, eliminiert wird.

    Abstract: Grooves are formed in a COD pad by positioning the pad on a supporting surface with a working surface of the pad in spaced relation opposite to a router bit and at least one projecting stop member adjacent to the router bit, an outer end portion of the bit projecting beyond the stop. When the bit is rotated, relative axial movement between the bit and the pad causes the outer end portion of the bit to cut an initial recess in the pad. Relative lateral movement between the rotating bit and the pad then forms a groove which extends laterally away from the recess and has a depth substantially the same as that of the recess. The depths of the initial recess and the groove are limited by applying a vacuum to the working surface of the pad to keep it in contact with the stop member(s). Different lateral movements between the bit and the pad are used to form a variety of groove patterns, the depths of which are precisely controlled by the stop member(s).
