Abstract:The feature size of circuits was gradually reduced to a few nanometers, which is prone to lead to the failure of the metal circuit even upon a low bias voltage due to the electromigration. Therefore, it is essential to understand the electrical transport characteristics of a narrow metal wire shrunk to atomic scale due to electromigration. To this end, we report that the approach for metal deposition and the underneath substrate play a critical role in determining the electron transport behavior. It is observe… Show more
