Electron Scattering at Epitaxial Ni (001) Surfaces
Electron Scattering at Epitaxial Ni (001) Surfaces
Abstract — Epitaxial Ni(001) layers are sputter deposited (or height) of an interconnect line, or the average distance
on MgO(001) substrates and their electrical resistivity ρ between grain boundaries. Consequently, in the limit of narrow
measured in situ as a function of thickness dNi = 5–100 nm interconnect lines, metals with low ρo λ products are expected
to quantify the resistivity size effect due to electron surface
scattering. X-ray diffraction θ–2θ scans, ω-rocking curves, to have a low resistivity, and therefore, yield interconnects
and pole figures confirm an epitaxial layer-substrate rela- with low signal delay and power consumption [24], [25].
