ABSTRACT:
A copper film is annealed at high pressure to enhance grain growth and remove voids. Other films, such as dielectrics, may also be suitable. High pressure can be used in conjunction with temperatures lower than room temperature for annealing or higher temperatures may be used to further enhance grain growth.
