    Abstract: A metal interconnect structure and a method of manufacturing the metal interconnect structure. Manganese (Mn) is incorporated into a copper (Cu) interconnect structure in order to modify the microstructure to achieve bamboo-style grain boundaries in sub-90 nm technologies. Preferably, bamboo grains are separated at distances less than the “Blech” length so that copper (Cu) diffusion through grain boundaries is avoided. The added Mn also triggers the growth of Cu grains down to the bottom surface of the metal line so that a true bamboo microstructure reaching to the bottom surface is formed and the Cu diffusion mechanism along grain boundaries oriented along the length of the metal line is eliminated.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to integrated circuits having tamper detection and response devices and methods for manufacturing such integrated circuits. One integrated circuit having a tamper detection and response device includes at least one photovoltaic cell and at least one memory cell coupled to the at least one photovoltaic cell. When the at least one photovoltaic cell is exposed to radiation, the at least one photovoltaic cell generates a current that causes an alteration to a memory state of the at least one memory cell. Another integrated circuit having a tamper detection and response device includes at least one photovoltaic cell and a reactive material coupled to the at least one photovoltaic cell, wherein a current from the at least one photovoltaic cell triggers an exothermic reaction in the reactive material.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for use in preparing a glass comprises: performing a first ion exchange process to replace at least a first ion in the glass with at least a second ion, the second ion being smaller than the first ion; and performing a second ion exchange process to replace at least the second ion in the glass with at least a third ion, the third ion being larger than the first ion. In another aspect, a glass is prepared at least in part by: performing a first ion exchange process to replace at least a first ion in the glass with at least a second ion, the second ion being smaller than the first ion; and performing a second ion exchange process to replace at least the second ion in the glass with at least a third ion, the third ion being larger than the first ion.
