    摘要: For locating an extrusion from an interconnect, an extrusion monitor structure is formed to surround the interconnect and is separated from the interconnect by a dielectric material. A first via is coupled to the interconnect, and a second via is coupled to the extrusion monitor structure and separated from the first via by a via distance (Lv). The extrusion is located at an extrusion site distance (Lextrusion) from the first via and between the first and second vias to short-circuit the interconnect to the extrusion monitor structure. A resistance (Rtotal) between the first and second vias is measured, and the Lextrusion is determined from a relationship with Rtotal, Lv, and resistivities and dimensions of the interconnect and the extrusion monitor structure.

    摘要: An optical waveguide structure is formed by embedding a core material within a medium of lower refractive index, i.e. the cladding. The optical index of refraction of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (p-Si), in the wavelength range between about 1.2 and about 1.6 micrometers, differ by up to about 20%, with the amorphous phase having the larger index. Spatially selective laser crystallization of amorphous silicon provides a mechanism for controlling the spatial variation of the refractive index and for surrounding the amorphous regions with crystalline material. In cases where an amorphous silicon film is interposed between layers of low refractive index, for example, a structure comprised of a SiO2 substrate, a Si film and an SiO2 film, the formation of guided wave structures is particularly simple.

    摘要: A system in one embodiment includes a source for directing a beam of radiation at a sample; a multilayer mirror having a face oriented at an angle of less than 90 degrees from an axis of the beam from the source, the mirror reflecting at least a portion of the radiation after the beam encounters a sample; and a pixellated detector for detecting radiation reflected by the mirror. A method in a further embodiment includes directing a beam of radiation at a sample; reflecting at least some of the radiation diffracted by the sample; not reflecting at least a majority of the radiation that is not diffracted by the sample; and detecting at least some of the reflected radiation. A method in yet another embodiment includes directing a beam of radiation at a sample; reflecting at least some of the radiation diffracted by the sample using a multilayer mirror; and detecting at least some of the reflected radiation.

    摘要: For determining electromigration permeability of a layer material, a test line, a feeder line, and a cathode line of an interconnect test structure are formed with current flowing from the test line through the feeder line to the cathode line. A no-flux structure is disposed between the cathode line and the feeder line, and the layer material is disposed between the feeder line and the test line. A respective current density and length product of the feeder line and the test line is respectively less than and greater than a respective critical Blech length constant. An occurrence of a void within the feeder line or the test line indicates that the layer material is permeable or impermeable.
