It has long been known that the addition of Cu to Al interconnects improves the resistance to electromigration failure. It is generally accepted that this improvement is the result of Cu segregation to Al grain boundaries. The exact mechanism by which segregated Cu increases service lifetime is not understood, although it has been suggested that the formation of thin layers of θ-CuA12 (or some metastable substoichiometric precursor, θ’ or θ”) at the boundaries may be necessary. This paper reports measurements of the local electronic structure of Cu atoms segregated to Al grain boundaries using spatially resolved EELS in a UHV STEM. It is shown that segregated Cu exists in a chemical environment similar to that of Cu atoms in bulk θ-phase precipitates.Films of 100 nm thickness and nominal composition Al-2.5wt%Cu were deposited by sputtering from alloy targets onto NaCl substrates. The samples were solution heat treated at 748K for 30 min and aged at 523K for 4 h to promote equilibrium grain boundary segregation. EELS measurements were made using a Gatan 666 PEELS spectrometer interfaced to a VG HB501 STEM operating at 100 keV. The probe size was estimated to be 1 nm FWHM. Grain boundaries with the narrowest projected width were chosen for analysis. EDX measurements of Cu segregation were made using a VG HB603 STEM.

The oxidation of the ethylenediphosphinetetraacetate anion and its protonated forms by iodine, periodate, hydrogen peroxide, and oxygen has been studied in aqueous solution. The oxidation by the first three reagents is fast and yields a single product, bis(phosphine oxide), which has been isolated and characterized as ethylenebis(phosphinyl)tetraacetic acid. The oxidation by molecular oxygen proceeds considerably more slowly; in weakly acid solutions its rate is determined by the properties of the oxygen rather than by the electronic structure of the various protonated substrate species. The inhibiting effect of the phosphonium structures takes place only in strongly acid solutions.
