…difference in thermal expansion between the silicon substrate and the copper line structure, but later the stresses developing during electromigration become dominant. A better understanding of the stress within the…

Resolution of the AC-SPELEEM

Energy resolution The energy resolution in the various acquisition modes is: better than 0.2 eV in XPEEM; 0.15 eV in μ-XPS and 0.15 eV in μ-ARPES. Spatial resolution The spatial…
