The behavior of ground bounce for the case of on-chip capacitor was different from the case of without on-chip capacitor. The current flow at the power and ground terminals was used as excitation source of FDTD model with the power/ ground plane. The simulation results were compared with the measurement data.","PeriodicalId":290013,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: 6th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126872410","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}

Results based on sheet resistance measurements, x-ray diffraction analyses, atomic force microscopy measurements and secondary ion mass spectroscopy analyses consistently follow a transformation of amorphous Ta2N to a crystalline phase and finally forming Cu-Ta-O compounds at higher annealing temperatures. The copper and tantalum nitride diffusion profile was performed using Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy. The Cu diffusion coefficients in Ta2N can be described by 1.5778 × 10 -12 exp (-0.4066 eV/kT) cm 2 /s.
