摘要: The reliability advantages of Ti-Al(Cu)-Ti are introduced in this work. Outstanding tolerance to electromigration damage is measured both single level interconnections and two-level with tungsten via-studs. A greater than 100* improvement the median time failure (t/sub 50/) for over simple Al(Cu). An integrated, four-level metallization has been realized. >
