N2 - We fabricated a carbon nanotube (CNT) via interconnect and evaluated its robustness over a high-density current. CNTs were synthesized at temperatures as low as 365°C, which is probably the lowest for this application, without degrading the ultra low-k interlayer dielectrics (k = 2.6). We measured the electrical properties of CNT vias as small as 160 nm in diameter and found that a CNT via was able to sustain a current density as high as 5.0×10 6 A/cm2 at 105°C for 100 hours without any deterioration in its properties.
