    摘要: A catalyst particle for use in growth of elongated nanostructures, such as e.g. nanowires, is provided. The catalyst particle comprises a catalyst compound for catalyzing growth of an elongated nanostructure comprising a nanostructure material without substantially dissolving in the nanostructure material and at least one dopant element for doping the elongated nanostructure during growth by substantially completely dissolving in the nanostructure material. A method for forming an elongated nanostructure, e.g. nanowire, on a substrate using the catalyst particle is also provided. The method allows controlling dopant concentration in the elongated nanostructures, e.g. nanowires, and allows elongated nanostructures with a low dopant concentration of lower than 1017 atoms/cm3 to be obtained.

    摘要: A contact metallurgy structure comprising a patterned dielectric layer having cavities on a substrate; a silicide or germanide layer such as of cobalt and/or nickel located at the bottom of cavities; a contact layer comprising Ti or Ti/TiN located on top of the dielectric layer and inside the cavities and making contact to the silicide or germanide layer on the bottom; a diffusion barrier layer located on top of the contact layer and inside the cavities; optionally a seed layer for plating located on top of the barrier layer; a metal fill layer in vias is provided along with a method of fabrication. The metal fill layer is electrodeposited with at least one member selected from the group consisting of copper, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, molybdenum, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt, silver, gold, cadmium and zinc and alloys thereof. When the metal fill layer is rhodium, ruthenium, or iridium, an effective diffusion barrier layer is not required between the fill metal and the dielectric. When the barrier layer is platable, such as ruthenium, rhodium, platinum, or iridium, the seed layer is not required.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for obtaining monocrystalline or single crystal nanowires. Said nanowires are grown in a pattern making use of electro-chemical deposition techniques. Most preferred, the electrolytic bath is based on chlorides and has an acidic pH. Single element as well as combinations of two elements nanowires can be grown. Depending on the element properties the obtained nanowire can have metallic (conductive) or semi-metallic (semi-conductive) properties. The observed nanowire growth presents an unusual behavior compared to the classical nanowire template-assisted growth where a cap is formed as soon as the metal grows out of the pattern. Under given conditions of bath composition and potential (current) settings the nanowires grow out of the pattern up to a few microns without any significant lateral overgrowth.
