摘要
Present efforts to minimize the resistivity of copper interconnects are discussed in terms of a comprehensive understanding of microstructure and electron scattering. A general approach for modeling resistivity that includes Monte-Carlo simulation of grain growth, first-principles modeling for grain boundary (GB) and interfacial resistivities, and a stochastic simulation for electron transport is presented. Determination of GB resistivities for Sigma 3 twin boundaries and Sigma 5 twist boundaries serve to illustrate steps in this approach.
