Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectronics is a complex world where many sciences need to collaborate to create nano-objects: we need expertise in electronics, microelectronics, physics, optics and mechanics also crossing into chemistry, electrochemistry, as well as biology, biochemistry and medicine. Chemistry is involved in many fields from materials, chemicals, gases, liquids or salts, the basics of reactions and equilibrium, to the optimized cleaning of surfaces and selective etching of specific layers. In addition, over recent decades, the size of the transistors has been drastically reduced while the functionality of circuits has increased. This book consists of five chapters covering the chemicals and sequences used in processing, from cleaning to etching, the role and impact of their purity, along with the materials used in “Front End Of the Line” which corresponds to the heart and performance of individual transistors, then moving on to the “Back End Of the Line” which is related to the interconnection of all the transistors. Finally, the need for specific functionalization also requires key knowledge on surface treatments and chemical management to allow new applications. Contents 1. Chemistry in the “Front End of the Line” (FEOL): Deposits, Gate Stacks, Epitaxy and Contacts, François Martin, Jean-Michel Hartmann, Véronique Carron and Yannick Le Tiec. 2.

This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal-dielectric interfaces are ubiquitous in modern electronics. As advanced gigascale electronic devices continue to shrink, the stability of these interfaces is becoming an increasingly important issue that has a profound impact on the operational reliability of these devices. In this book, the authors present the basic science underlying the thermal and electrical stability of metal-dielectric interfaces and its relationship to the operation of advanced interconnect systems in gigascale electronics. Interface phenomena, including chemical reactions between metals and dielectrics, metallic-atom diffusion, and ion drift, are discussed based on fundamental physical and chemical principles. Schematic diagrams are provided throughout the book to illustrate interface phenomena and the principles that govern them. Metal-Dielectric Interfaces in Gigascale Electronics provides a unifying approach to the diverse and sometimes contradictory test results that are reported in the literature on metal-dielectric interfaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La microélectronique est un monde complexe dans lequel plusieurs sciences comme la physique, l’électronique, l’optique ou la mécanique, contribuent à créer des nano-objets fonctionnels. La chimie est particulièrement impliquée dans de nombreux domaines tels que la synthèse des matériaux, la pureté des fluides, des gaz, des sels, le suivi des réactions chimiques et de leurs équilibres ainsi que la préparation de surfaces optimisées et la gravure sélective de couches spécifiques. Au cours des dernières décennies, la taille des transistors s’est considérablement réduite et la fonctionnalité des circuits électroniques s’est accrue. Cette évolution a conduit à une interpénétration de la chimie et de la microélectronique exposée dans cet ouvrage. Chimie en microélectronique présente les chimies et les séquences utilisées lors des procédés de production de la microélectronique, des nettoyages jusqu’aux gravures des plaquettes de silicium, du rôle et de l’impact de leur niveau de pureté jusqu’aux procédés d’interconnexion des millions de transistors composant un circuit électronique. Afin d’illustrer la convergence avec le domaine de la santé, l’ouvrage expose les nouvelles fonctionnalisations spécifiques, tels que les capteurs biologiques ou les capteurs sur la personne.
