METHOD FOR MICROSTRUCTURE MODIFICATION OF CONDUCTING LINES

A method for microstructure modification of conducting lines is provided. An electroplating process is performed to deposit the metal thin film/conducting line(s) with a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure and a preferred crystallographic orientation over a surface of a substrate. The metal thin fil...

More Information
Summary:A method for microstructure modification of conducting lines is provided. An electroplating process is performed to deposit the metal thin film/conducting line(s) with a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure and a preferred crystallographic orientation over a surface of a substrate. The metal thin film/ conducting line(s) is subsequently subjected to a thermal annealing process to modify its microstructure with the grain sizes in a range of 5 μm to 100 μm. The thermal annealing process is conducted at the temperature of above 25 degrees Celsius and below 240 degrees Celsius.
