Abstract

Copper films given multiple sequences of Ta implantation and Cu depositions were analyzed using electron microscopy, backscattering, and Auger spectroscopy. Ta retention is 92% following direct implantation, and 100% retention was achieved for the same Ta dose if sputtered Cu is replaced during implantation. Lateral migration of Ta and microroughness were observed for all cases studied. Evidence for TaC formation is presented.
