Tungsten recess

Tungsten recess in a small structure is usually visible when examined using SEM angle illumination. There is a visible shadow on one side of the W... 

Deep recesses, holes, and other difficult three-dimensional configurations can usually be coated with relative ease. For instance, integrated circuit via holes with an aspect ratio of 10 1 can be completely filled with CVD tungsten. 

Chekina et al. [8] have applied contact wear methods to the modeling of surface evolution in both oxide and dual material (tungsten-oxide) CMP to predict erosion and dishing or recess. The formulation uses calculation of...

Based on data of Figure 6,11, what is the average polish rate of tungsten inside a 1.0 pm recess, a 1.5 pm recess, a... 

Figure 2.8 illustrates the growth in tungsten demand since 1930. Exeept for temporary fluctuations, a steady growth due to increasing industrialization in the world can be observed. War times were always related to maxima and economical recessions to minima. 

Tungsten s economy was generally ruled by the supply/demand situation, which itself was a consequence of the world s general economic situation. Booming industry was always associated with enhanced tungsten consumption and mine production as well as with the search for new deposits. Times of general recession always showed minimum of the consumption combined with mine closures. Wars reflected situations of highest industrial activity and always maximum of consumption and prices. 

Also, increased tungsten demand originating from peaceful industrial booms leads to price maxima and, correspondingly, recessions lead to minima. The historical maximum reached in 1977 was the eonsequence of increased consumption.
