Abstract

Laser direct writing using thin solid films of metallo- organic precursors offers some unique advantages in terms of materials design, process control, and safety over gas phase or solution processor. Micro patterned copper films were obtained by laser-induced deposition using Cu(HCOO)₂ 4H₂O films as a precursor. Then the new applicabilities for interconnection of integrated circuits were preliminary studied by the estimation of physical and electrical properties of copper films after annealing. The growth kinetics of these Cu films was investigated as a function of the laser power and the scan speed which were varied in the range of 70 to 600 mW and 0.1 to 20 mm/s, respectively. The high-purity of the deposit was also confirmed by Auger electron spectroscopy analysis. The resistivity of the patterned copper films was a factor of about 20 higher than that of bulk value however, the resistivity decreased due to changes in morphology and porosity of the deposit and was about 10 (mu) (Omega) cm after annealing at 300 degrees C for 5 minutes.
