AbstractThe evidence of copper (Cu) ion drift in low-dielectric-constant (low-k) interlayer films is clearly shown by transient capacitance measurements for the first time. The bias-temperaturestress (BTS) was applied to the copper electrode of Cu/low-k/p-Si metal-insulator-semiconductor capacitors. After injecting photoelectrons into the low-k film from the substrate, time-dependence of the capacitance was measured. When BTS-applied samples were measured, a decrement of the capacitance was observed, whereas not observed without BTS. The decrement of the capacitance was attributed to thermal emission of electrons from copper-related electronic states. By assuming an attempt-to-escape frequency of the charge from the electronic states, the energy level of Cu was estimated to be 0.8–0.9 eV below the conduction band edge.

To unveil the activation of dioxygen on the copper centre (Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>core) of tyrosinase, we performed X-ray crystallograpy with active-form tyrosinase at near atomic resolution. This study provided a novel insight into the catalytic mechanism of the tyrosinase, including the rearrangement of copper-oxygen species as well as the intramolecular migration of copper ion induced by substrate-binding.<br>
