Abstract
In this paper, the interfacial adhesion strength between metal layer and benzocyclobutene (BCB) polymer dielectric in 3-D integration applications is investigated. The effects of layer thickness, layer stacking order, and additional adhesion layer of titanium (Ti) layer between copper (Cu) and BCB polymer are investigated. Surprisingly, the conventional titanium adhesion layer commonly used in the semiconductor industry weakens the interfacial adhesion strength between copper and BCB. Additionally, to figure out the interfacial adhesion mechanisms, the interfacial structures probed by sum-frequency-generation vibrational spectroscopy are correlated to the adhesion strengths measured from corresponding sample interfaces. It is found that ordered C-H groups at the metal/BCB interface, such as titanium/BCB or molybdenum/BCB, lead to weak interfacial adhesion strength, whereas disordered interfaces, i.e., copper/BCB, lead to strong interfacial adhesion strength.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
