  • Abstract
    This paper investigates effects of current waveforms and densities on surface morphology and microstructural characterization of copper films. Comparing to the direct current (DC) waveform, the pulse waveform plating produces a fine, void-free grain copper structure. The grain size of copper films is 194 nm and copper films are capable of enduring high temperature without bubbles.
