Investigation of Low-Cost Copper Interconnection Cleaning Using Hydrogen Radicals Generated by Heated Catalyst

Article Preview

Abstract:

We investigated hydrogen radical copper cleaning via the hot-wire method using only a rotary pump for the vacuum exhaust system. The copper oxide surface was successfully reduced. The treatment also increased the resistance of copper to oxidation.
