    Electromigration in Thin Films of Aluminium"

    Co / Y A thesis entitled "ELECTROMIGRATION IN THIN FILMS OF ALUMINIUM" by Stephen Roberts B.Sc., A.R.C.S. Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Imperial College of Science and Technology London 1982 2 ABSTRACT Electromigration is a common cause of failure of the aluminium thin film metallizations used in many microelectronic devices and circuits. The objective of the present work was to draw correlations between processing parameters, micro- structure and susceptibility to electromigration failure of vacuum-evaporated aluminium films on amorphous Si O^. The chemical composition of the Al - Si C>2 interface was examined using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy and diffraction. The effects of substrate surface preparation and temperature on Al - Si O^ interfacial reaction were investigated. Reduction of the Si02 by the aluminium, resulting in the production of polycrystalline silicon and Tj - alumina, was found to occur under the conditions prevalent in many industrial metallization processes. The implications of Al-Si O2 reaction for device reliability are discussed. A range of techniques, including transmission and scanning electron microscopy and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction, were used to characterize the grain size, preferred orientation and surface topography of aluminium films deposited onto Si C>2 under various conditions. 1 yum thick aluminium films were found to have a ^111) fibre texture and the mean grain size ranged from less than 0.5yjm for deposition at 300 K, to ** 5 yum, for deposition at 675 K. Some thinner films were also examined, and trends in grain size and orientation with thickness were established.

Associat€d ninerals include corundum, Nb-Zr-bearing rutile and monazite. The maximum Ti content reaches 3.9 w.7o in pynhotite and 2 wt.7o in marcasite and pyrite, which represent prducts of replacement of the pynhotite. Titanium is distributed rather homogeneously within single grains of the pyrrhotite; however, a strong grain-to-gain variation is observed. The Tl-rich sulfides invariably contrin an elevated level ofvanadium (0.2-0 .4 wr.Vo).T\e results indicate that both Ti and V enter into solid solution in the sulfides. Presumably, there is an environmental similarity between the occurrences ofTl-bearing sulfides in trftibina and in meteorites (enstatite chondrites), where Tl-bearing hoilite occurs.

ABSTRACT The crystal structure of cafetite, ideally Ca[Ti2O5](H2O), (monoclinic, P21/n, a = 4.9436(15), b = 12.109(4), c = 15.911(5) Å, b = 98.937(5)∞, V = 940.9(5) Å3, Z = 8) has been solved by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.057 using X-ray diffraction data collected from a crystal pseudo-merohedrally twinned on (001). There are four symmetrically independent Ti cations; each is octahedrally coordi- nated by six O atoms. The coordination polyhedra around the Ti cations are strongly distorted with individual Ti-O bond lengths ranging from 1.743 to 2.223 Å (the average <Ti-O> bond length is 1.98 Å). Two symmetrically independent Ca cations are coordinated by six and eight anions for Ca1 and Ca2, respectively. The structure is based on [Ti2O5] sheets of TiO6 octahedra parallel to (001). The Ca atoms and H2O groups are located between the sheets and link them into a three-dimensional struc- ture. The structural formula of cafetite confirmed by electron microprobe analysis is Ca[Ti2O5](H2O), .

The Hg atom is in a nearly perfect linear coordination Debattistiite (IMA 2011-098), ideally Ag9Hg0.5As6S12Te2, is a new mineral discovered in the famous for Pb-Cu-Ag-As-Tl with two Te/S atoms. One of five Ag sites and Hg site, which are bearing sulfosalts Lengenbach quarry in the Binn Valley, Valais, very close (separation 1.137 Å), are partially occupied (50%). Switzerland. Debattistiite has been identified in two specimens Thus there is a statistical distribution (50:50) between Hg(Te,S)2 from zone 1 of the quarry in cavities in dolomitic marble with and AgS2(Te,S)2 polyhedra in the structure.

    Geology and Age of the Lac a La Perdrix Fenite, Southern Gatineau District, Quebec

    CA9700383 -4- Geology and age of the Lac a la Perdrix fenite, southern Gatineau district, Quebec D.D. Hogarth1 and Otto van Breemen2 Hogarth, D.D. and van Breemen, 0., 1996: Geology and age of the Lac a la Perdrix fenite, southern Gatineau district, Quebec; inRadiogenic Age and Isotopic Studies: Report 9; Geological Survey of Canada, Current Research 1995-F, p. 33-41. Abstract: The Lac a la Perdrix fenite lies in the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Province. This 30 m wide fenite, adjacent to a narrow calciocarbonatite sill, replaces diopside-oligoclase gneiss and is composed of magnesio-arfvedsonite, aegirine, microcline, albite, and fluorapatite. Near the contact with carbonatite, it contains appreciable monazite and barite whereas aegirine virtually disappears. Fenitization probably took place early in the igneous stage of carbonatite development. A Pb/U monazite age of 1026 ± 2 Ma is thought to date fenite formation. Together with published data, this age shows that carbonatite intruded metamorphic rocks near the close of the Grenville Orogeny. Resume : La fenite de Lac a la Perdrix s'observe dans la ceinture metasedimentaire de la Province de Grenville. Cette fenite, mesurant 30 m de largeur et en position adjacente par rapport a un etroit filon-couche de calciocarbonatite, remplace un gneiss a diopside-oligoclase et se compose de magnesio-arfvedsonite, d'aegirine, de microcline, d'albite et de fluorapatite. Pres du contact avec la carbonatite, la fenite contient de la monazite et de la barytine en quantite appreciable, tandis que l'aegirine disparait pratiquement. La fenitisation a probablement eu lieu au debut de l'episode igne durant lequel s'est form6 la carbonatite.

Oxygenic bismuth minerals in the NE part of the Karkonosze pluton (West Sudetes, SW Poland). Acta Geologica Polonica, 68 (4), 537–554. Warszawa. The study presents fifteen oxygen-bearing secondary minerals of bismuth from the north-eastern part of the Variscan Karkonosze granitoid pluton in the northern zone of the Bohemian massif. The minerals were inves- tigated by optical, electron microprobe, classic chemical, XRD, IR absorption and fluid inclusion methods. The late, very low temperature epithermal solutions most probably caused formation of sillénite, kusachiite, bismoclite, bismutite, beyerite, kettnerite, pucherite, schumacherite, namibite and eulytite. Solutions dominated by supergene (meteoric) waters were the parents for bismite, russellite, koechlinite, ximengite and walpurgite. The paper also contains information on early research on the investigated minerals. Key words: Karkonosze granitoid pluton; Bismuth minerals; Secondary minerals; Oxidation; Vein; Pegmatite.
