A Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport in Cu nano-interconnects: Suppression of resistance degradation due to LER/LWR
2012
The effect of Line-Edge Roughness (LER) on electrical resistance in nanoscale Cu wires is investigated utilizing a semi-classical Monte Carlo method for simulating electron transport in metallic wires. Dependence of parameters characterizing LER such as amplitude, correlation length, and correlation between line-edges on electrical resistance is presented, and an optimal wire structure to suppress resistance degradation due to LER/LWR is discussed.
