Grain orientation measurement of passivated aluminum interconnects by x-ray micro
diffraction
Abstract
The crystallographic orientations of individual grains in a passivated aluminum interconnect line of 0.7-mu m width were investigated by using an incidentwhite x-ray microbeam at the Advanced Light Source, Berkeley National Laboratory. Intergrain orientation mapping was obtained with about 0.05o sensitivity by the micro Laue diffraction technique.
