Electronics Center in Minneapolis, where he developed a materials and device characterization laboratory and worked on development of advanced integrated circuit devices. 

Over the past decade, the semiconductor manufacturing industry has used hydroxylamine solutions in cleaning formulations to strip process residues from integrated circuit devices. Hydroxylamine and its derivatives are also used in the manufacture of nylon, inks, paints, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and photographic developers. 

Examples of conductive ABS polymer composites include electromagnetic shielding materials (56,57) and electrically conductive composite plastic sheets, which may be used for packaging of integrated circuit devices (58,59). 

There is no doubt that everyone is familiar with Moore s law, the doubling of data density per integrated circuit every 2 years. The performance of integrated circuit devices, historically limited by the characteristics of the transistors, is today limited by the electrical characteristics of the interconnect. The needed improvements in the interconnect performance are achieved with copper and a reduction in the insulator dielectric4 constant due to the associated reduction in the interconnect capacitance, the cross-talk, and the power consumption.

One of the easiest ways to visualize the material and device characteristics that need to be measured is to consider a semiconductor device. For this I have chosen in Figure 1 a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) as representative of a typical semiconductor device. Indicated on it are the important material and device parameters that need to be measured. Only some of them are addressed in this chapter. Other devices could have been chosen, but the MOSFET incorporates most ot the parameters of interest and is the most coismon integrated circuit device.

SixNy and SiOx are commonly used as passivation layers [40]. It is known from experience with integrated circuit devices that alkali cations (e.g., sodium) diffuse into SiOx [41], which may be the origin of reliability problems that occur during operation at high temperatures and high voltages. In addition, SixNy shows higher resistance to humidity. Therefore, SixNy is superior to SiOx as a passivation layer. The thickness is typically 300-600 nm. 

Another approach to patterning is to sensitize the target material to directly be photosensitive and wash off the remaining material. A number of custom compounded and commercially available materials have been applied as pho-topatternable gate dielectrics. A similar strategy has also been demonstrated for a soluble pentacene precursor, which converts to an insoluble and well ordered form after treatment [60], and conductor traces in an integrated circuit device [61]. 

Although this resist system was invented almost a decade after the invention of the first chemical amplification resist, it was the first chemical amplification resist that was versatile and robust enough to support integrated circuit device manufacture. 

Cell projection lithography incorporates elements of image projection into the variable-shaped beam approach. Here, the shaped beam is created by an aperture, formed from single-crystal silicon, containing various shapes coinciding with the array of each unit cell of an integrated circuit device pattern such as the repetitive core cells of memory chips. ...
