Insulating materials for microelectronics
Tuesday, 15 October, 2002
Researchers from the Commerce Departments National Institute of Standards and Technology reported they have developed methods for characterising key structural features of porous films being eyed as insulators for the ultrathin metal wires that will connect millions of devices on future microprocessors and increase processor speed.
It will help semiconductor manufacturers and their materials suppliers.
