A low energy, fast rise time system for pulsing low mass wires is presented. The system was used to pulse a deuterium loaded wire using a fast pulse not sufficiently energetic to drive an unloaded wire into vaporization. An element such as palladium, which was studied in these experiments, has the capacity to store deuterium to extremely high concentrations. The pulsed power system will be described,...
A novel calorimetry technique was used to determine the energy delivered to a wire during a fast, low energy pulse. Following earlier work at dc by McKubre, et al., at SRI International, the diagnostic was applied to fast pulses for the first time. The experiment consisted of a low mass deuterium loaded wire placed in a vacuum flask filled with liquid nitrogen. A mass flow meter was used to detect...
Copper interconnects have gained wide acceptance in the microelectronics industry due to improved resistivity and reliability compared to Al interconnects. However, there are many challenges with implementation of Cu interconnects at the 32 nm node and beyond, including increased resistivity, integration with porous low-k materials, and reliability. In addition, for RF and mixed signal technology,...
