Abstract

This paper describes a simple and novel approach to calculate the line resistance of copper interconnects. The proposed methodology is simply based on a linear representation of the Cu resistivity vs. 1/SCu (SCu is the Cu cross-sectional area) in which the slope captures the net result of scattering phenomena in Cu.
