Abstract
Vacant defects in electroplated Cu films are investigated by positron annihilation and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The evolution of vacancies was divided into two regions with respect to the annealing temperature. For temperature below 300/spl deg/C, the behavior of vacancies was closely related to grain growth. When the annealing temperature was over 300/spl deg/C, the vacancy concentration was estimated to be of the order of 10/sup 19/ /spl sim/10/sup 20//cm/sup 3/, which is similar to void volume estimates in stress induced voiding (SIV) failure.
