Effect of electronegativity on electron surface scattering in thin metal layers

Atharv Jog et al.

Summary: In situ transport measurements show that adatoms on Cu and Co surfaces significantly disturb the surface potential, leading to electron scattering and resistance increase, while this effect is negligible for Rh. The measured inverse correlation between electronegativity and resistance change suggests that the surface potential perturbation is the primary parameter affecting electron surface scattering in thin metal layers. Electronegative metals, in particular, are promising conductors for highly scaled interconnect lines.

First-principles prediction of electron grain boundary scattering in fcc metals

Tianji Zhou et al.

Summary: The electron reflection probability at symmetric twin boundaries in eight face-centered cubic (fcc) metals was predicted from first principles. The results showed that the reflection probability increases as the interplanar distance decreases. An extrapolation scheme was proposed to estimate the reflection probability at random grain boundaries. It was found that Cu, Ag, and Au have relatively small reflection probabilities due to their nearly spherical Fermi surfaces, while Al, Ca, Ni, Rh, and Ir have approximately two times higher probabilities. The resistivity of metals with randomly oriented grains was found to be proportional to the bulk resistivity, electron mean free path, and reflection probability. Cu had the lowest resistivity, suggesting that other fcc metals have higher resistivity in the limit of small randomly oriented grains. Therefore, the conductivity benefit of replacement metals for narrow Cu interconnect lines can only be achieved if the grains are larger than the linewidth or exhibit symmetric orientation relationships.

Resistivity Scaling in Epitaxial CuAl2(001) Layers

Minghua Zhang et al.

Summary: Epitaxial CuAl2 layers with different thicknesses were deposited on MgO substrates by co-sputtering and their resistivity was measured. The results show that the resistivity of CuAl2 increases with decreasing thickness, with electron scattering at Al vacancies playing a significant role. The Fuchs-Sondheimer model was used to describe the resistivity scaling and the electron mean free path at room temperature. Transport measurements at 77K indicate a more pronounced resistivity size effect in CuAl2.

Ultralow electron-surface scattering in nanoscale metals leveraging Fermi-surface anisotropy

Sushant Kumar et al.

Summary: Increasing resistivity of metal wires with reducing nanoscale dimensions is a major performance bottleneck of semiconductor computing technologies. Metals with anisotropic Fermi velocity distributions can effectively suppress electron scattering by surfaces and outperform isotropic conductors. Certain intermetallics and borides with anisotropic Fermi velocities show the most promising performance for narrow wires.

Resistivity Size Effect in Epitaxial Rh(001) and Rh(111) Layers

Atharv Jog et al.

Summary: Rh(001) layers show increasing resistivity with decreasing thickness, in agreement with classical models, while Rh(111) layers exhibit epitaxial microstructure with limited resistivity contribution from grain boundaries. Air exposure causes minimal change in resistivity, indicating potential for Rh as an alternative metal for narrow interconnects.

Summary: The potential of a wide range of layered ternary carbide and nitride Mn+1AXn phases as conductors in interconnect metal lines in advanced CMOS technology nodes has been evaluated using first-principles simulations. The resistivity scaling potential and cohesive energy of these compounds have been benchmarked against Cu and Ru for their transport properties and resistance against electromigration. The results indicate that numerous MAX phases show promise as conductors in interconnects of advanced CMOS technology nodes.
