Abstract
We demonstrated a Cu/CNT composite material for interconnect application. The electromigration (EM) properties of Cu/CNT composite via and line were investigated using Kelvin and Blech test structures respectively. Our results showed that the EM lifetime of the Cu/CNT composite is more than 5 times longer than Cu.
