However, controlling the strain states of these materials in nanodevices remains a persistent challenge. Incorporating mechanical strain in a controllable manner is crucial and is simplified here for suspended nanomaterial assemblies in nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS) configurations. We discuss a verified CMOS compatible and scalable surface micromachining approach with respect to design capabilities based on FE simulations. It is shown that in-plane stress applicable in multi-axial directions can be controlled by only a few geometry factors and by process parameters of strain mediating stress layers.","PeriodicalId":241835,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) and IEEE Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference (MAM)(IITC/MAM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123005522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of resistivity, CuAl was shown to have lower resistivity than Cu including a liner/barrier layer, at less than 6 nm. No voids were observed after EM (1 MA/cm2, 275 °C, 25 h) test, whereas voids were observed in Cu/TaN.
