Imec has delivered the first experimental evidence that the resistivity of a thin conductor film on a 300mm Si wafer can be lower than that of Cu and Ru, which are currently used in interconnect metallisation schemes. For example, a resistivity as low as 11.5µWcm was measured for a NiAl binary alloy of 7.7nm thickness, …
