In this paper, a physical model for the development of dishing during metal chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is proposed. The main assumption of the model is that material removal occurs predominantly at the pad/wafer contacts. The distribution of pad/wafer contact size is studied first. This distribution is used as an input for a model of the dependence for the material removal rate on the line width. A relation that describes the development of dishing as a function of overpolish time will be presented. The model describes to a great accuracy the observed dishing effects, using one free parameter.

A high-Q, tunable, micromechanical capacitor has been realized using an IC-compatible, electroplated-metal surface micromachining technology and demonstrated with quality (Q-) factors in excess of 290-the highest reported to date for on-chip tunable capacitors at frequencies near 1 GHz. The key feature in this design that makes possible such high on-chip Q is the method for capacitive tuning, which in this design is based on moving the dielectric between the capacitor plates, rather than moving the plates themselves, as done in previous designs. One version of this design achieves a measured Q of 291 at 1 GHz (C=1.21 pF) with a tuning range of 7.7% over 10 V of control voltage, and an expected self-resonant frequency (SRF) of 19 GHz. In another design, with a wider tuning range of 40% over 10 V, a Q of 218 is achieved at 1 GHz (C=1.14 pF).

Ultrafast optoelectronic devices are crucial for fulfilling the future requirement of communication network throughput to enter the 1 Tb/s to 10 Tb/s range. This paper discusses the requirements of optoelectronic devices operating in the femtosecond time domain and reviews recent progress of novel devices, such as femtosecond devices for ultrashort pulse generation, compression and switching.

The mixing of field-induced and current-induced degradation mechanisms can result in TDDB data showing a strong non-Arrhenius temperature dependence. Generally, at higher fields and lower temperatures, the current-induced mechanism dominates and a small activation energy is observed. At lower fields and higher temperatures, the field induced degradation mechanism tends to dominate and a strong temperature dependence is produced. The mixing of the current-induced and field-induced mechanisms can result in an activation energy associated with TDDB which is not unique but strongly dependent on test conditions and oxide thickness. The mixing is validated over various voltage, field, thickness and temperature regimes.

We report the latest developments in light emitting polymer (LEP) systems, including much improved blue device performance, developed at CDT. We also describe a high brightness, low voltage yellow system which is particularly suitable for use in passive matrix displays. Finally we describe materials improvements for red, green and blue which together with the co-development of a direct patterning technique, with the Seiko Epson Corporation, has lead to the production of a 16 grey-level full colour active matrix LED display.

This paper introduces a new model for the {311} defect. The {311} defect is a key component of transient enhanced diffusion. This model is based on in-situ TEM annealing of defects. In-situ evidence suggests that there is no length dependence of the {311} defect evolution. Dissolution of the ensemble does, however, show a dependence on length since the defect loss rate is proportional to the number of defects. Defect nucleation is heterogeneous on clusters that result from the implant.

A conformable formation process of ultra-thin Ta/sub 2/O/sub 5/ gate dielectrics, which is applicable to 50 nm damascene gate MOSFETs, was developed. Assisted by H/sub 2/O, perfect conformability was successfully realized even in the narrow gate groove (50 nm), while maintaining a low gate leakage. An excellent device performance of S-factor 72 mV/decade was obtained in 90 nm MOSFET with amorphous Ta/sub 2/O/sub 5/ gate dielectrics of T/sub eff/ 1.6 nm.

Solid-state lighting is based on short wavelength nitride-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes (LDs), that can produce white light. Presently, nitride-based LEDs have efficiencies exceeding those of incandescent light bulbs and most likely, will surpass those of fluorescent lights in the near future. In this talk, the latest performance of nitride-based ultraviolet (UV)/blue/green/amber/white LEDs and violet/blue LDs will be discussed.

We have quantitatively investigated how boron segregates to regions dose to the surface, and what controls this phenomenon, using XPS and Backside SIMS measurement techniques. We found that, on the contrary to the equilibrium segregation, the pileup of boron are mainly on and within 0.6 nm of the Si side of the interface, and that there is no difference between the kind of encapsulation. This also suggests that the pileup of boron is mainly on the Si side, and implies that the main factor in this segregation is the existence of the Si surface. From the viewpoint of device fabrication, this result seems to be useful in terms of the fabrication of side-walls. The possibility for boron pileup to occur in the interstitial state was also shown.
