In electroplated Cu after (sell)anneal the SAWS frequency is lower for samples annealed at higher temperature because of the lower porosity induced elasticity. In sputtered Cu, the SAWS frequency shows a clear correlation with grain size, which is induced by a strong re-orientation of the copper film from the as-deposited (111) texture. (E=190 GPa) to a strongly (100) textured super grain structure (E=78GPa). | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/1484 | ISI #: | 000242213700019 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
