Abstract
Micro-hole voltammetry exhibiting rectified current-voltage curves was performed in hydrochloric acid by varying the lengths and the diameters of the micro-holes on one end of which a Nafion film was mounted. Some voltammetric properties were compared with those in NaCl solution. The voltammograms were composed of two line-segments, the slope of one segment being larger than the other. They were controlled by electric migration partly because of the linearity of the voltammograms and partly the independence of the scan rates. Since the low conductance which appeared in the current from the hole to the Nafion film was proportional to the cross section area of the hole and the inverse of the length of the hole, it should be controlled by the geometry of the hole. The conductance of the hydrogen ion in the Nafion film was observed to be smaller than that in the bulk, because the transport rate of hydrogen ion by the Grotthuss mechanism was hindered by the destruction of hydrogen bonds in the film. In contrast, the conductance for the current from the Nafion to the hole, enhancing by up to 30 times in magnitude from the opposite current, was controlled by the cell geometry rather than the hole geometry except for very small holes. A reason for the enhancement is a supply of hydrogen ions from the Nafion to increase the concentration in the hole. The concentration of the hydrogen ion was five times smaller than that of sodium ion because of the blocking of transport of the hydrogen ion in the Nafion film. However, the rectification ratio of H+ was twice as large as that of Na+.

Abstract
▪ Abstract The increasingly rapid transition of the electronics industry to high-density, high-performance multifunctional microprocessor Si technology has precipitated migration to new materials alternatives that can satisfy stringent requirements. One of the recent innovations has been the substitution of copper for the standard aluminum-copper metal wiring in order to decrease resistance and tailor RC delay losses in the various hierarchies of the wiring network. This has been accomplished and the product shipped only since the fall of 1998, after more than a decade of intensive development. Critical fabrication innovations include the development of an electroplating process for the copper network, dual-damascence chem-mech polishing (CMP), and effective liner material for copper diffusion barrier and adhesion promotion. The present copper technology provides improved current-carrying capability by higher resistance to electromigration, no device contamination by copper migration, and the performance enhancement analytically predicted. This success of the shift to copper will accelerate the industry movement to finer features and more complex interconnect structures with sufficient device density and connectivity to integrate full systems on chips. The next innovation will be the introduction of low-dielectric constant material that, in combination with copper, will create added excitement as the industry learns how to utilize this new capability.
