Semiconductor Research Corporation and Cornell University Capture First-Ever Images of Sub-Nanometer Pore Structures in Low-K Materials
(Research Triangle Park, N.C.) Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), the world’s leading university-research consortium for semiconductors and related technologies, and researchers from Cornell University today announced a reliable method for visualizing and identifying the detailed structure of low-k insulating materials at a sub-nanometer scale. The ability to capture direct, quantitative images of pore structures – some smaller than one nanometer – helps solve semiconductor scaling concerns that could affect the future performance and power usage of integrated circuits.
