  • Abstract
    Electrical, electrooptical, mechanical, and microstructural characterizations explain why the leakage currents in advanced Cu/ultralow-interconnects can change from bulk (3-D) to mostly interfacial (2-D) above 150degC. A physical model consistent with all these results is proposed.
