Copper and Copper Oxide Nanoparticle Formation by Chemical Vapor Nucleation From Copper (II) Acetylacetonate

Crystalline nanometer-size copper and copper (I) oxide particle formation was studied by thermal decomposition of copper acetylacetonate Cu(acac)₂ vapor using a vertical flow reactor at ambient nitrogen pressure. The experiments were performed in the precursor vapor pressure range of P _prec = 0.06 to 44 Pa at furnace temperatures of 431.5°C, 596.0°C, and 705.0°C. Agglomerates of primary particles were formed at P _prec0.1 Pa at all temperatures. At 431.5°C the number mean size of the primary particles increased from D _p = 3.7 nm (with geometric standard deviation _g = 1.42) to D _p = 7.2 nm (_g = 1.33) with the increasing precursor vapor particle pressure from 1.8 to 16 Pa. At 705.0°C the primary particle size decreased from D _p = 24.0 nm (_g=1.57) to D _p = 7.6 nm (_g = 1.54), respectively.At furnace temperatures of 431.5°C and 596.0°C only crystalline copper particles were produced. At 705.0°C the crystalline product of the decomposition depended on the precursor vapor pressure: copper particles were formed at P _prec>10 Pa, copper (I) oxide at P _precleq 1 Pa, and a mixture of the metal and its oxide at intermediate vapor pressures. A kinetic restriction on copper particle growth was shown, which leads to the main role of Cu₂ molecule participation in the particle formation. The formation of copper (I) oxide particles occurs due to the surface reaction of the decomposition products (mainly carbon dioxide). For the explanation of the experimental results, a model is proposed to build a semiempirical phase diagram of the precursor decomposition products.

Copper metallization for ULSL and beyond

The investigation of copper for use as an interconnection metal in the ultra large-scale integration (ULSI) era of silicon integrated circuits has accelerated in the past several years. The obvious advantages for using copper to replace currently used Al are related to its lower resistivity (1.7 μΩ-cm vs. 2.7 μω-cm for Al) and its higher electromigration resistance (several orders of magnitude higher compared with Al). The goal of this review is to examine the properties of copper and its applicability as the interconnection metal. A comparison of electromigration behavior of various possible interconnection metal in standard “bulk” state is made. This is followed by a review of the calculations made comparing (a) the RC (resistance × capacitance) time constants of various material systems and (b) the joule heating of the interconnection materials. A comparative study of various metal systems for the application as the interconnect metal is then made. These discussions will clearly establish the superiority of copper over other metals despite certain limitations of copper. We then review the properties, both physical and chemical, and materials science of copper. The concept of using alloys of copper with a minimal sacrifice on resistivity to gain reliability is also discussed. This is followed by the review of the deposition, pattern definition and etching. passivation, need of the diffusion barrier (DB) and adhesion promoter (AP), planarization and dual damascene process using chemical mechanical planarization, and reliability. This review shows that copper will satisfy the needs of the future integrated circuits and provide high performance and reliability as long as we provide an appropriate barrier to diffusion in the underlying devices and the dielectric.

Copper and native defects in zinc telluride

Zinc telluride crystals were grown from tellurium-rich solutions containing 10¹⁷–10²⁰ cm^?3 atoms of copper. The copper concentrations in these crystals were measured by activation analysis. Hall effect and resistivity measurements were performed. Photoluminescence spectra were also determined. Our interpretation of the different results is that copper brings about both acceptor defects Cu_Zn with a 0·12–0·13 eV ionization energy, and donor defects. The second acceptor level of the zinc vacancy was found to be at 0·15 eV.

Improvement of Field Emission Characteristics of Copper Nitride Films with Increasing Copper Content

A copper nitride （Cu3N） thin film is deposited on a Si substrate by the reactive magnetron sputtering method. The XPS measurements of the composite film indicate that the Cu content in the film is increased to 80.82 at. % and the value of the Cu/N ratio to 4.2：1 by introducing 4% 112 into the reactive gas. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the film is composed of Cu3N crystallites with an anti-ReO3 structure. The effects of the increase of copper content on the field emission characteristics of the Cu3N thin film are investigated. Significant improvement in emission current density and emission repeatability could be attributed to the geometric field enhancement, caused by numerous surface nanotips, and the decrease of resistivity of the film.     

Spectroscopic Study of the Interaction of Mitoxantrone with Copper(I), Copper(II), and Neocuproine

Both reductive and oxidatlve mode of metabolism have been hypothesized for the antitumor agent mitoxantrone. This work aims to better understand the redox properties of mitoxantrone in the presence of the physiological redox couple, copper(I)/copper(II), by means of polarograpy and spectrophotometry. The first quasi-reversible one-electron reduction of mitoxantrone to the semiquinone and the second reduction to the hydroquinone have been shown to be considerably affected by copper. Visible spectra of mitoxantrone-copper mixtures in nitrogen and oxygen purged solutions taken in a one-week period exhibit varying degrees of complexation and oxido-reduction.

When copper(II), neocuprolne and mitoxantrone are mixed in a certain ratio in pH 7. 4 phosphate buffer solution, two new peaks at 584 and 632 nm emerge in the spectra indicating a ternary charge transfer complex. The complex atoichiometry was established as Cu(IT): neocuproine: tritoxan-trone = 2:4:1 by Job's method of continuous variations. The ternary complex is sensitive to the relative concentrations of mitoxantrone and copper(II), an excess of the latter giving rise to complete red ox products. This complex may be important in modeling the drug's oxidative mode of ant tumor action.

Conductance of Copper and Nickel Nanowires with Constrictions

Theoretical studies of the conductance of Ni and Cu ultrathin wires are performed for both the ideal purely ballistic case and structures with constrictions (necks), under constraint of local charge neutrality. The computational method is based on realistic tight-binding Hamiltonian and a Landauer-type conductance expression derived by means of the Green's function technique. It is shown that in the presence of short nonadiabatic constrictions the conductance is no longer quantized at integer multiples of e ²/h. Besides: (i) a plot has been made to visualize how the number of contact atoms influences the conductance, and (ii) the spin polarization of Ni conductance has been revealed.

Copper and Nickel Interactions with Aspartate Containing Tetrapeptide

Interactions between proteins or peptides and transition metal play an important role in biological systems (1–5). An approach to the study of metal ion binding is the chemical synthesis of a metallo-model site and analogues thereof and the comparison of their metal ion binding characteristics (6, 7). Among the peptide models interacting with different metals we are engaged with the tetrapeptide segment Ac-Asp-Val-Asp-Ala-OH (Ac-DVDA-OH) which can be considered as a simplified model of calcium binding sites of several proteins (8, 9). Previous study in solution, argued to a high stability constant of metal-Ac-DVDA-OH complexes at neutral pH (10). NMR results suggest the chelation of calcium or rare earth cations (Pr³⁺) through the two carboxylate groups of aspartyl residues (11). The main purpose of the present paper is to give a contribution to the study of interactions between copper and nickel and the tetrapeptide model by Infrared spectroscopy.     

Copper sulfide coated polysulfone films

The modification of polysulfone surface was used to obtain effective interactions between an organic polymeric surface and an inorganic specie. A previous treatment of the polymer surface with modifiers is required in order to provide adherence. Our objective was the synthesis and the surface characterization of copper sulfide coated polysulfone (CuS-PSf) films. SEM micrographs showed a homogeneous distribution of copper sulfide, which contributes to increasing electrical conductivity. X-ray analysis showed a decrease in copper sulfide particles (covellite porcelain) when compared with other polymeric composites prepared under similar conditions. The measured surface conductivity of the CuS-PSf films was higher than those of other similar systems, ca. 800 S cm⁻¹.     

Iron Nanoparticles in Severe-plastic-deformed Copper

Superparamagnetic iron nanoparticles with a size of a few nanometers were produced in copper by severe plastic deformation. In a isochronal annealing experiment near a temperature of 450K, which corresponds to the temperature of structural relaxation and the first step of grain growth (from 128 to 150nm) of submicrocrystalline copper, an abrupt increase in the magnetic susceptibility is detected. This increase is shown to be due to iron nanoparticles increasing in size from 2.8 to 3.3nm. The vanishing of the ferromagnetic contribution by iron nanoparticles observed at 850K, well below the Curie temperature of iron, is due to the dissolution of nanoparticles in plastically deformed copper.
