Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Defects in SiOCH/Cu damascene structures were probed using monoenergetic positron beams. Doppler broadening spectra of the annihilation radiation and positron lifetime spectra were measured for samples patterned with 0.54- and 2.16-micrometer pitches. From the analysis of the annihilation properties of positronium (Ps) formed in SiOCH, it was found that the size of pores in SiOCH was decreased by the scaling. The decrease in the Ps formation probability in the sample with short pitches was also observed, and which was attributed to electron/hole traps introduced by the fabrication process of the damascene structure. It was demonstrated that monoenergetic positron beams are applicable for use in a sophisticated nondestructive-observation technique to characterize low-k films in fine-pitch Cu interconnects.
